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

No, this is not another film with Lee Marvin shaving with a straight, this is one where he is shaved by Clint Eastwood. In the funniest, most manly musical ever made 1969 Paint Your Wagon. This is the scene where Lee (Ben Rumpsin) is being prepped by Clint (Pardner) for his newly purchased bride, played by Jean Seberg (WOOWOO!!!). With onlooking audience, Pardner shaves his hung-over/drunk partner and flings the suds off to the side. I've seen this movie a thousand times and never noticed this till last week.

did anyone mention the bourne ultimatum? matt damon almost gets shaved.. but ended up choking the guy out with a bath towell.

My Name is Nobody

Both Henry Fonda and Terrence Hill get a shave. They both find a way to make sure the don't get nicked... or even killed...

Jackson's King Kong.

The chef shaves a sailor in the kitchen and accidentally dips the brush into porridge instead of the bowl beside it and continues rubbing the porridge to his face . Not actual shaving is shown, but the chef seems to be holding a razor.

I'd say he probably had a pretty good shave with the porridge. LOL

Yea, you know I've noticed that before but it never quite clicked untill you put it like that. I believe I have your answer. It's Hollywood (unless it was a Spaghetti Western); but in the interest of preserving the storylines we'll say they where starting a 3rd pass. Sound good?

(Edited) OOPS, just noticed somebody already said that. Well, two great mimes wink alike, or something like that.

There is also an old western with a character named Frenchy—not The Cotton Club. It was a terribly made gold mining movie in the vain of Paint your Wagon, I almost think they where trying to make a knockoff of it. In the movie the underhanded, scum bag Frenchy carries a straight razor hung around his neck on a rope throughout the whole movie. In one scene he is going to fight a man and the guy insists that Frenchy remove the razor before he will fight. I can't find any references to it. Thought the movie was poorly directed anyway IMO.

I was going to post saying that someone should compile all the movies listed and then thought, why pawn the hard work onto someone else. I thought it would be nice to have a list, at least out of my curiosity. I had no idea when I began, what an undertaking I had assigned myself to. After about an hour and still not able to see an end to the pages it was one of those "I've already swam halfway, why turn back" things. Then I pulled up the earlier post which was even longer. Anyway.

Maybe we should include Lynn's video. Sure it's not a movie, but it's a film; and as far as I'm concerned Pumping Iron isn't a movie either.

So here is the complete list (thus far). I included actor's names where provided in the posts and did a little additional background. It would be nice to have names and dates for all of them, but time permitting. . . maybe someone else can complete the list.
