Thread: Straight Razors in Movies

666 Park Avenue had a straight Razor scene the other night

I agree about the Skyfall scene. The way Daniel Craig was holding it made me start to cringe, but the girl did it pretty well.

HBO's Rome
It's a miniseries more than a movie, but there are 2 shave scenes with ancient SRs. In one scene, Julius Ceasar is shaved without lather out on the battlefield by his tent. In another scene, Lucius Vorenus is shaved by his friend Titus Pullo using oil and a SR with no scales.

Trading Places
Dan Akroyd is shaved with a SR in the beginning of the movie.

Reservoir Dogs
The famous scene where Madsen pulls his SR out of his shoe and removes a cops ear as he dances to "Stuck in the middle with you."

Star Trek Insurrection, Riker is shaved by Troi in a bathtub.....With all the futuristic technology she still used a straight. Should have used a phaser set on stu(n)bble removal. His comment to Data, "smooth as an adroids butt" , Data feels Riker's face and shakes his head no.

Watching Bourne Ultimatum again after having been well 10+ straight shaves under my belt. There is a quick scene where Jason Bourne fights Desh Bouksani who happened to pick up a straight razor and attack Bourne with it before he met his demise.

Great car chase near the end of that movie.

At least Sean Connery shaved with a DE in Goldfinger.....

That was the very reason for my failed attempt at getting a decent shave with an electric too. I had to have the same damn razor as advocated by Pierce Brosnan from that Bond Movie. I can see a lot of the same will happen with regards to all those people who will buy up cut-throats as a result of this movie.

Now to go and drag out my Bourne Ultimatum DVD for the car chase...

Not a movie, but a music video clip: School's Out by Cretu & Thiers. 1 : 47 in, barber shop straight razor shave.

Cretu & Thiers - School's Out - YouTube

In Expendables, the first one, Terry Crews uses a straight razor to kill a whole bunch of guys, not sure if this has been mentioned in the thread yet lol.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet...(and I'm ashamed to admit I watched it)...theres a scene in Abraham Lincoln-Vampire Slayer where Lincoln is caught by a vampire who pulls out a straight made at least 50 years after the period in which their scene was supposed to take place.
