Everyone remembers the camp fire scene, but Gene Wilder shaves with a straight in Blazing Saddles.

Just saw a man use a straight in the very beginning of the Swedish film Ådalen 31 (Ã…dalen 31 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) from 1969 about the Ådalen shootings (Ã…dalen shootings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Sorry to bump this ol' thread, but there was a great scene in the last episode of Mad Men about shaving.
Don and Roger have a barbershop appointment set by Cooper, and Don gets a nice shave. They show a straight cutting some whiskers for a brief moment, then he gets a splash of aftershave and a massage. Later his wife goes, "Oooh, smooth." and his smiling response is, "I got a shave."
I meant to go back to see if I could read any markings on the razor but I forgot and deleted it off my DVR.
Maybe I'll download it to see.
Great episode, btw!

Why apologize for bumping this thread? Considering this thread is a list, a compilation it requires "bumping" in order to serve its intended purpose. What it really needs is to be tabulated by someone who can do those clerical functions. If we could come up with an Excel spread sheet with fields for Title, Year, Director, and whatever else is deemed pertinent we can perform various statistical analyses.

Saw some pretty good shaving technique in 'Operation Finale' . Way better than most straight shaving that I've seen on film.
