Don't be Afraid of the Dark was a recent horor/suspense film where little "tooth fairy" creatures relieve a man of his straight and proceed to attack a few people with it. It actually wasn't a bad movie either.
I don't _think_ this one has come up yet: In Battlestar Galactica, Gaius Baltar shaves with a straight (season four, one of the final eps). It's awful: he scrapes away with the blade at a 90-degree angle, flip-flip-flip at random spots on his lathered face.
King of Kings (1961), an Easter film that was on TCM today, had a "2000 year old shave" scene. The barber applied a clear lubricant to the face and started to shave with a knife big enough to carve a turkey. But the shavee terminated the shave before it started. Couldn't blame the actor for not going through with that!

Tonight's episode of Under The Dome features Dwight Yoakam shaving Dean Norris with a straight razor. It made me want to cringe because he was holding the razor at a 90 degree angle to his face; just dragging the edge across his face.
