Name a movie where someone shaves with a straight razor

There was a scene in Gilligan's Island where the Skipper is shaving with a straight. How else could they look so well groomed after all those years on the island? Maybe the Professor found something to hone it with on the other side of the island!

With all of these posts I'm surprised no one picked up on Key Largo with Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson. It is amusing to watch Robinson playing gangster Johnny Rocco talking non stop while one of his underlings shaves him with a straight.

IIRC Bogie also gets a barber shop shave in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. One of the greatest films made IMO. If you've not seen it do yourself a favor and Key Largo too.

Only shows the warriors didn't have a SRPer in their ranks, cause that would have continued "Wow! What is that? Is it a Dubl Duck? Sweet scales! How does it shave?" and orphans would have ended up disarmed with a wad of cash and very perplexed expression. =)

Not a movie, but in the U.S tv serie 'Rescue me' there an episode (can't remember which season) where chief Reilly (Jack McGee) uses straight.

If you guys have never seen it "Eastren Promises"
I implore you to so so. The best movie Ive seen since Goodfellas. A straight is used in the first scene. Also Mickey Rourke uses one on on a fat guy in "Angel Heart". As for shaving, Schindlers List has two guys use a 90degree angle to scrape their faces.

Speaking of Bogie... On the African Queen using water from the steam engine. Gotta love Bogie ( even us younger guys.)

Sean Penn uses a straight in the movie Casualties of War.
In the movie House of 1000 Corpses,there is some straight razor usage. However, I wouldn't personally recommend their technique.

It's not so much a 'shaving' scene though. I was sad enough to be trying to identify the razor (looked like a Dovo with white/bone scales) as the guy was getting his throat cut!

I can't remember right now but I think that Carey Grant uses one in It Happened One Night.
