FE no longer have a license to produce Bond memorabilia so certainly nothing from them.
There is an unlicensed but reasonably accurate replica listed on eBay every so often.

That one is too big and wide.
We may not be talking the same "replica;" there are least two which are hopelessly inaccurate.

No, I know which one you are talking about. The prop was surprisingly slim and small.
*We spoke to DOVO Solingen who confirmed they sent a 3580 straight razor to the Skyfall production team but from watching the movie they are certain it wasn’t the 3580 James Bond used. However, they believe it is one of their straight razors with a #41 blade. Interestingly, they suggested the 3580 was probably too sharp, and since they only had one Daniel Craig, they didn’t want to risk using it!

It wasn't a DOVO, it was a vintage Hoffritz. They might have sent a sample to the production, but that's about it as they'd be required to send more than one if it was green lit to be used in production. They're BS'ing about the sharpness as well. The screen used ones where blunted completely and couldn't cut anything, just enough to scrape foam off an already shaven area to give the appearance of shaving

Ere ASP. Do you think it's time to reignite the PPKS thread?

God no. The amount of times we've had to explain that is vexing )
No worries guys, I wasn't sure myself and I use straight razors. I knew it was blunted at the angle and the pressure she was using her have been missing half his face!

We recycled a slew of straight razors in our warehouse purge; I know some were Hoffritz, collected when my father was stationed in Germany following the war. Hadn't considered they might be collectible and/or refurbishable. <sigh>

It's definitely cheaper than the Taylors, but it's the wrong shape. For those not wanting to spend a large amount on the Jermyn model, Taylors do one with a molded plastic handle that's the same shape as their screen used one for about £29.

Thats identical to the one I picked up on ebay, was a bit rusted up but had it refinished.
They did a great job refurbing the Hoffritz.

No that would be mental. Plus he's an evil Ood and would only get up to shenanigans.
