I did not see it, either. I was looking for it but don't even remember him shaving.

very short scene, I could not tell what brand it might be.

We were eagerly looking forward to seeing the movie and spotting the razor.
Went last week, thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I would classify it as a great production.
Never saw the razor, perhaps the scene was "cut",.....no pun intended.

I missed the post where you stated the production company purchased your razor, now that is cool

I "think" he uses the razor for about 2 seconds while he sits a tub to wash, almost at the end of the movie, he pulls at his nasty beard & begins to cut away at it, not a shave cream scene. Does this ring a bell??

No,, even better,,,they sent it to Sharptonn to be honed first, that way Leo wouldn't cut himself ,,,,


oh,,, that was a good one,,,

I finally saw The Revenant and boy was it different than the book. In the book he uses the razor to cut up a rattlesnake, which wouldn't fit the winter landscape of the movie. It was a good movie overall, but I liked it more for the movie making not the story itself.

Today I saw a Lincoln commercial where Matthew McConaughey gets a wet shave. The weird thing is...it looks like the barber is stropping the razor which appears to be a Feather.

I checked out the video and it doesn't even look like there is a blade in the feather lol. I saw another commercial, during the olympics, where some dude was getting shaved with a real straight. Seemed like it was cutting hair and the angle was pretty good also. It could've been another lincoln commercial, but I don't remember Matthew McConaughey in it...

Watching season 2, episode 2 of Boardwalk Empire and Nucky Thompsons is shaving with a straight. Technique & angles are all wrong. If I shaved like that I would have the worst razor burn.

Any other Walking Dead fans out there?

OK, it's not the movies, but I just had to share one of the most cringe-worthy straight razor scenes I've seen for a long time. Let's just say Negan needs to spend some time here on SRP.

Yeah . . . just horribad.

At least Woody Harrelson looks alright in the new Planet of the Apes trailer.
