    Thanks Chibbi on the Greystoke thing. I was joking about Sweeney Todd because it has bee prttey worn out on these forums.

    Oh, here's a German one: Werner Herzog's 1976 movie Woyzeck, the title character played by Klaus Kinski shaves his captain right after the opening credits. He is almost spastic in his stropping technique and he really goes to town on the guy's face.

    "Monsieur N" released last year has a good straight shave scene.

    The opening scene of "After the Thin Man", William Powell, playing Nick Charles, is shaving with a straight in a railroad car bathroom. Nora, played by Myrna Loy, opens the door almost bumping him. He jokes "It's O.k. Darling, just practicing. Would you like a slice of neck?"

    That Zohan movie has a very quick shot of him using a straight to make a goatee out of his beard. Adam Sandler has bad technique tho...
