Just watched from TV classic series 'Sleeper' (1973). It's a hilarious movie. Last time i saw it i was about 15 yo.
Woody Allen shaves with straight razor as does his female mirror image.
Wincchester '73 with Jimmy Stewart having a complete conversation with Walter Brennan, I think, while shaving with a straight ... a complete shave.
It wasn't a movie but in the cartoon "archer" on FX there was a scene with the lead character Archer shaving with a straight razor... Then when his illegitimate baby begins to eat the shaving cream off his brush he screams, "stop, that's silvertip badger!" As a side note "archer" is an excellent show, it shows that cartoons can be made for adults, at least immature ones.
In "The Book of Eli" towards the end of the movie he gets shaved with a straight. If you blink you'll miss the scene..but it's there...lol
In an episode of the office Will Farrel guest stars and gets a straight shave in the office. The barber uses a true straight but a very steep angle for his ATG.
I didn't read the whole thread, and I'm sure someone has already posted this, but the opening scene of Gangs of New York shows Leim Neison's (spelling ?) character shaving/cutting himself before a street fight.
there's a sopranos episode where little carmine gets a straight razor shave.
The new Vampire/Werewolf/Ghost show "Being Human" just had a Straight razor shaving scene 2 weeks ago... Not a bad actually until the "Ghost" uses a "push" to cut the ex-boyfriend with the razor...
The eyeball being sliced by the razor in that scene is actually from a dead sheep. However, the way Dali and Bunuel set up the shot, the viewer thinks it's the eyball of the woman in the previous frames.
There's a fairly recent (2008) BBC miniseries of Dickens' "Little Dorrit" in which the actor playing Arthur Clennam is shown briefly twice shaving with a straight (WTG, down the cheeks). Sadly, the blade is at a 90 degree angle each time. What, they couldn't do a little research? Guess they figured no one woudl know the difference.
