    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.

    Not a "real shaving scene" with a real razor, however a tribute to one of the greatest comic couple of all times!


    Now, gentlemen, who would like to have such a shave?
    What a razor!
