    Fahrenheit 451 has a scene where "the wife" gets the husband the latest thing in shaving. She gives him a str8 and tosses the electric razor in the trash.

    In Gangs of New York Leonardo Dicaprio's character is watching his father shave (not Dicaprio playing it but when his character was a boy) with a straight razor, and he gives the boy his razor just before going to fight.

    Not straight razor, but I was watching some old baseball clips and noticed ads for double edges on the outfield walls.


    From the dead ball era about 45secs in

    Coming Soon...

    During the dead ball clip I saw an ad for Gem safety razors, they also made straights from 1903-1907, I am lucky enough to have a seven day set in like new condition. It was neat to see the billboard, thanks!

    Edit: More ads for Gem in the clip from the 50's.

    I always add to these threads Performance, in which Mick Jagger revenge shaves someone's head with a straight whilst talking about his dad who was a barber. Anything Nick Roeg directs is worth watching, right?

    I think it's only on VHS at present, but worthwhile if either you like LSD trips or you want to remember what Anita Pallenberg looked like before the Hep C took its toll. Of course, I got it for the razor scene!
    BTW, you can search IMDB by keyword, so here are the results for 'shaving.' Searches can be refined by other keywords as shown at the right of the page, so a search for 'shaving' refined to include only, say, 'underwear' and 'drunkenness' gives these results. Why anyone should care, I'm not sure. But it might be fun! I thought I had all of Peckinpah's westerns, but sine Major Dundee appears on the above refined search, I shall get it.

    Default DEADWOOD

    In the second season of HBO's wonderful series Deadwood, there is an episode where a Mr. Wolcott (known for his eccentric and dangerous proclivities towards prostitutes) slashes the throats of three of the camps newest "tricks" with a straight razor. Since known by certain others for these sociopathic tendencies, Mr. W nearly loses his life due to the distaste it causes Wild Bill's best friend, Charlie Utter--who ends up beating his azz in the middle of the thoroughfare! Had Mr. Wolcott not been a well-off "gentleman" in the employ of George Hearst, the famously rich prospector and geologist, his life would likely have not been spared.

    Amazing episode; somewhat gory and disturbing, yet enjoyable nonetheless! Sorry to see that cute little blonde number go though...
