Thread: Name a movie where someone shaves with a straight razor

Dean Martin gets shaved in Rio Bravo. And Uncle Fester gets his head shaved with a straight in The Adams Family.

There was a movie which came out in 1965 called, "The Wild Seed" a little known movie in which Michael Parks stars in his first film. Produced by Marlon Brando and Harry Dean Stanton is also featured. The plot is about a young girl in NYC who runs away from her foster parents to find her real father in LA. Enroute she meets up with Parks and they ride hobo to the west coast.

In the shaving scene Parks is sitting by a creek and shaving himself with a razor blade.

The critics called this film an "Artsy Little Drama.

Parks went on the film, Bus Rileys Back in Town with Ann Margret. Check her out in a whilte E Jag with that red hair flowing in the breeze.

Later Parks was in the TV series, Then Came Bronson.

If you get a chance to see any of his early movies do so. He is a very underated actor.

Last night I saw the "Guns of Navarone" on Turner Classic Movies. It's been quite a while since I last saw that movie, but there is a scene near its climax in which the team of saboteurs is preparing for their final assault on the guns in which both the characters portrayed by Anthony Quinn (Stavros )and Stanley Baker ("The Bucher of Barcelona") are shaving with str8 razors.

Malcolm McDowell's character, Mick Travers, uses one to shave off a forbidden moustache in "If," which is a great movie, but I imagine it doesn't get shown much anymore, because what was then a fantasy has, sadly, become reality in this country and others.

Hello, aragornelessar86:

It's been a while since I have seen the movie It Happened One Night. There might have been a straight shaving seen in that, but I don't remember.

The 1935 Frank Capra movie, however, stars Clark Gable, who is paired with Claudette Colbert. It's a delightful movie.

Oh, I don't have the time now to read the entire post. Did anybody mention Pan's Labyrinth?

A dude shaves with a big knife in The Fifth Element. Just saw it today...

Tom Cruise uses one in Valkyrie. One handed, after losing a hand in the war.

Ethan Hawk- GATTACA, opening scene.

Don't know if it's covered yet, but Both Denzel and Gary oldman used straights in Book of Eli (saw it last weekend)
