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

It isn't a straight or a movie, but you have to see the opening scenes for Shaun the Sheep (any episode).

Look out at the top right scene - the farmer does a 5 second shave
-Lather with brush
-3 swipes with a DE

Done!

All the best,
Michael.

not a shave but an appearance and i hope it's not been noted before but in the bombing raid in the film Pearl Harbour where the nurses are moving patients away from the windows one of them, i think the Kate Beckinsale character, gets a straight, i suppose a surgical straight, from he cupboard and cuts down the tractioned arms and legs of the patients

let me know if this doesnt count

Just saw a CSI episode where Grissom gets a shave with a straight from his girlfriend, forget her name.

As for movies, I think Jackie Gleason(playing Minnesota Fats) shaves with one in The Hustler during his first match with "Fast" Eddie Felson(Paul Newman).

I'm pretty sure the Spanish commander in Pan's Labyrinth shaves with a straight. Not sure if it has been mentioned because I did not read through this entire thread.

One of my favorite movies also!

Kirk Douglas in "The War Wagon" gets a straight shave from an Asian bar floosy.

Groucho Marx is caught shaving with a str8 in the opening scene in "Horse Feathers". He makes the comment about another professor's speach - "that speach was as dull as the razor I was using".

Woody Allen shaves with a straight in his film Sleeper. It's a pretty funny scene as he mimics the old Marx brothers mirror sketch.

In the movie Barbershop (2002) Cedric "The Entertainer" teaches others (about 35 mins into the film) how to use the str8 with respect.
Nice film to watch...

Denzel Washington film "The Book of Eli" in two scenes the first with Gary Oldman being shaved and second where Denzel is shaving/being shaved the second is hard to tell but it is a good shot of the razor
