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

I was watching a movie tonight and saw James Brolin shave with a straight razor and it reminded me that I have been noticing more and more scenes with a straight razor. Undoubtedly due to the fact that I have only 6 months play time.

I'll start:

Westworld - James Brolin

Unforgiven - Clint Eastwood. He does it wrong though. Scrapes rather than cuts.

Charlton Heston in "Will Penny"!

BladeWielder in This Guy Must Have a Sharp Razor.

In dumb and dumber the blond one gets shaved by a straight razor when he pulls the fake blood trick.

This MUST have been asked before sooooo many times but why is it that in westerns cowboys can get interrupted half way through a shave (usually with a straight of some sort) and then wipe the lather away to reveal a completely clean shaven face???

I was just watching the movie Sommersby which stars Richard Gere and Jodie Foster. At one point in the movie, Jodie is giving Richard a straight razor shave. Only problem is that she is taking the first pass mostly against the grain on his face. Hurt me to watch!!!
Here's to props!

Probably because that face was clean-shaven to begin with...then some prop lather dumped on it and a plastic blade waved over half the face.

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.
