    Fantastic video :))

    I am definitely going to order one! I usually am a Small in tops, but from what I gather I should go for a Medium in this to get the correct fit? (I'm a 38" chest)

    Another great video! I love the beginning, especially the joke about selling his flat.

    Excellent vlog again David! A lot of little cool facts that I didn't know, I liked the one about Silva and the earpiece.

    Great content as always. I appreciate the work you put in to doing this vlog. Keep being awesome!
    I heard you mention the shaving bowl and I was a little confused. Is the the Old Bond Street bowl the correct one? What about the brush?
    Thanks again!

    Couldn't agree more! Another great video David. Long day at work and getting over a cold and poped on the video and just chilled out. Always hilarious intros and a great nostalgic revisit. Your energy and passion for this hobbie is infectious and reminds me what I love about this crazy lifestyle. {[]

    Great video and website DZ. I've certainly taken up the hobby too since viewing your site and following your tips.

    I own Tom Ford sunglasses from QoS and SP, Sunspel T-shirt from CR, V neck jumper from SF, Slazenger v neck jumper from GF, white braces from CR, Philips shaver from DAD, Floris shave bowl from SF, Sunspel swim shorts from TB, Fred Perry T shirt from TB, an Aston Martin DB5 wheel coffee table (engraved with 007), had lunch at Fleming's Goldeneye in Jamaica, and own countless Bond books.

    I also had a tailor made suit - grey Glen Plaid check, based on the Gumbold scene in OHMSS.

    DZ great video Skyfall is in my top 3 and to take it back to the lesser known items is a great twist ordering the pen set now!!
    Good to see BR keeping it fresh with new ideas as well Bond must have helped them immensely!

    Looking forward to the next ones!

    Cheers :007)

    Mis read first time and thought you had the full DB5 but a part thereof is better than nothing - collect on!

    Cheers :007)

    Great review, David.

    I have the previous version of Daniel's Haiti jacket and love it. It's one of my go to jackets.

    Mantis,

    You know what videos I would love to see? A fitness/diet series.

    You had a few of the Body by Bond ones about 4 years ago and you obviously have made some great strides since then. What made me think about it was when I saw that your co-workers had given you something like eggs instead of cake for your birthday. I would love for you to maybe bring everything together when it comes to excercise, food, supplements, etc, in what has worked for you in your daily life...

    Love the idea....thank you!

    Mantis,

    Can I just say that I love how you disappeared into the shadows and let those guys take the spotlight for an episode.

    Very classy :007) -{

    We explore the artistry, the research, and the meticulous detail of James Bond paper props...many people collect gadgets, some others connect with the wardrobe or travel....but then there are some who gravitate to the hidden treasures of paper props and go so far as to recreate these items.

    Excellent video, as per usual Mantis. It just goes on to show how much of a collection you have, even down to paper props.
    My favourite out of all of them would have to be the newspaper from Casino Royale. I'm surprised you didn't show the Octopussy Circus ones.
    a reasonable rate of return
