    Team,
    I didn't read through the entire thread, but one of the worst straight razor shaves in film has to beat the end of the movie The Avengers. After the heroes save the day and they are showing news broadcasts, there is one man in a barbers chair getting his beard shaved like Iron Mans. The barber is holding the razor at 90degree angle to his cheek.

    Just got done watching Maximum Overdrive and I have seen this movie a hundred times and never noticed the girl traveling with the bible salesman carried a straight razor in her boot.

    I am always on the lookout for straight razors in the movies, even before I thought about using one myself, but do you know what surprises me any more? It's watching an old movie from the 40s or early 50s and seeing the lead character using an electric razor. Crossfire (Robert Young, 1947), Road House (Cornell Wilde, 1948), The Prowler (Van Heflin, 1951).

    To keep my post on topic, in Crossfire, Robert Ryan uses a straight, and the guy Robert Young uses to get evidence to convict the Ryan character for murder uses a DE razor.

    It might be worth noting that Robert Young (electric razor) is the police officer working the case; the DE user was targeted by the Ryan character as being a stupid Southern boy; and Ryan was blinded by his anti-Semitism when he killed a Jewish man.

    The cop used the newest razor (electric); the guy who helped convict the murderer used the next newest razor (DE); and the bigot used the oldest style razor (straight). I wonder if that's intentional. It's really unusual to show three men shaving in a movie.

    in Dario argento's films (i'm a fan of his old films)



    an examle is the beatiful "Il gatto a nove code" or rather "The Cat o' Nine Tails"

    IL GATTO A NOVE CODE scena barbiere avi - YouTube


    another example in "Tenebre"

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g61l62KKkk


    In my favourite film (Suspiria) you can view an amazing razor(KAMA) at 1:02:26

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAiQon7hZaI


    In Phenomena(another good film) there is a nice ape that find.....

    Phenomena Dario Argento scimmia trova rasoio.avi - YouTube

    and after the ape use it...

    Dario Argento - Phenomena (parte finale) - YouTube


    In "Quattro mosche di velluto grigio" (four flies on grey velvet) there is a little image at 0:28


    Quattro Mosche Di Velluto Grigio-Omicidio nel parco / Four flies on grey velvet- murder in the park - YouTube


    This film is one of most beautiful of Dario Argento but not so popular...the final theme is Ennio MOrricone's music....amazing

    In the famous Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah, Danny Glover movie "The Color Purple," there are a few instances of Whoopi Goldberg shaving Danny Glover. I have seen the movie several times in the past, but now that I straight shave, I noticed it this time around. It's really funny too because Danny Glover's lather is absolutely terrible. Also, Whoopi's stropping technique could turn a Maestro Livi into a butter knive after one lap.
