    Default Best use of Straight Razor in film?

    I was just thinking about it...and there have been some great straight razor references in film.

    Any personal favorites?

    Even though it's grotesque, I like Reservoir Dogs...but Uma Thurmann DID escape from a coffin after slicing her ropes with the straight razor in her boot...then there's the DE razor scene (still worth mentioning) in Royal Tenenbaums.

    Wait, I know my favorite: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. It's simple: Lee Van Cleef (Angel Eyes) is talking to Eastwood (Blondie) about the location of the gold, all while shaving in a mirror. I think any time Lee Van Cleef shaves in a movie, an angel gets its wings.

    Any other favorites?

    I like the scene in Band of Brothers where Capt. Winters shaves in Ardennes with a DE out of his helmet, first capturing a German with lather on his face, then completing the shave.

    There's a similar thread here. Been going for a while now.

    It seems too easy just to pick one from there!

    I never remember any as I wasn't shaving with a straight. If i saw one now it'd grab my attention!
