    I have mentioned the TV show Mt. Selfridge. He gets the edge of his beard trimmed with a straight, followed by some 4711. Over the weekend I spotted a huge bottle of Penhaligon's English Fern in a scene. It was on the counter in the cologne section of the store and must have been a gallon bottle at least.

    I've also saw a clip on a BBC series called The Edwardian Farm where the cast tries to farm living and working as Edwardians did. One of the men is shown briefly stropping and shaving. It resembled my first attempt. I'm currently watching the Christmas episodes of its sister show The Victorian Farm.

    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.
    I saw that!! Was waiting for the cut lol.

    I've been watching the new Discovery Channel series Frontier and Lord Benton showed some pretty poor technique as well

    Just watched the 1945 Agatha Christie "And then there were none". Short scene of one of the ten little Indians shaving with a straight and doing a very good job of it.

    Watching an episode of Into The Badlands. The main character, who had been quite scruffy to this point, is seen shaving with a straight. A little bogus in that he had a very professional haircut and you could almost tell that he had shaved before shooting the shaving scene as he was as close to a BBS shave you can get on TV. He was holding the razor correctly at least.

    I was watching True Blood last night for giggles. There was a disturbing scene where two guys were shaving with a straight using canned cream.

    (See that Razorfeld beat me to the punch above as this was a repeat episode...I agree with everything he mentions. Way too good a shave for such a barbaric environment.).

    Into the Badlands, S2E03, "Red Sun, Silver Moon"

    Sunny actually uses proper shaving angles to get a CCS while holding a broken piece of mirror. I have no idea how he managed to concoct such a lovely lather. No way to tell what the blade was, but from the sound effects, I imagine it was intended to be a full-hollow.

    No wonder the Predator wanted to kill them all. Shaving like that. I'll bet the alien uses a straight.

    Apparently she trained with a barber to get the shave to loom realistic.

    It worked for me.
