Name a movie where someone shaves with a straight razor

If I remeber right in the Dirty Dozen there were a couple of scenes where they where shaving with straights.

In "Cross of Iron," I believe James Coburn shaves with a straight razor.

Who could forget the barber shop scene in the beginning of 'High Plains Drifter' with of course Clint Eastwood.

Bridge on the River Kawi - William Holden
The Naked Edge - Gary Cooper
Heaven Knows Mr. Allison - Robert Mitchum
Ride the Pink Horse - Robert Montgomery

Check out Pink Horse at Yammering Magpie Cinema and Noir of the Week sites.

This is one of the most underated Noir films of all times. It is strange to see Dr. Marcu Welby as a WW2 GI bent on revenge, with Fedora, .45 Auto, tough hardboiled lingo and he uses a straight. Good movie.

Lawrence Fishburne in Bad Company (1995).

I still like the scene in Fahrenheit 451 where Julie Christie Gives Oskar Werner a straight as a replacement for his 'lectric claiming it's the latest thing. She then tosses the 'lectric in the trash.

The Warriors, 1979, a small unknown gang called the Orphans, threatens the warriors with a str8. The leader of the orphans says something like this; " See warriors, this is what you get, when you mess with the Orphans!' As he says this, he is holding up a str8.

I can't believe I saw this one last night. I had the honor of watching "Peter Pan" the original Disney classic with my youngest Grandson. There was a scene in the film where Mr.Smeed was getting Captain Hook ready for the day and put a wet towel over Hook's face and a seagull landed on the towel and Mr. Smeed lathered up the rump of the seagull and shaved him BBS.
My Grandson said: "Grampa, he has a razor just like you." LOL. My chest swelled with pride knowing that my buddy noticed.

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread.

Not a scene that Lynn will be incorporating into any of his videos, I'd guess.
