    No I actually have seen that and noticed it as well.. the other one I have seen lately was a Driving commercial on with Spongebob who decides to shave while driving..

    No it looks like a DE as well.. my daughter was the one who pointed it out to me the second time she saw it.

    Yes I notice that in the Aleve commercial. When I mentioned it to my wife she just looked at me and turned back to the TV.

    My son & I are going to Normandy, France on Saturday. In preparation for the trip, we are watching everything WWII/Operation Overlord related that we can. We were watching some old War Department films there was a quick spot showing a guy getting a straight shave from a barber.

    No, of course not. Everybody notices minor props in T.V commercials which most people don't even pay attention to.

    Better make an appointment to see Dr Spendur. Soon you'll be going through trash cans looking for shave related stuff.

    There is nothing wrong with pointing it out. heck I even try to figure out brands and models of items.
    My wife hates it when I analyze their technique, like in the original Adams family movie when she was shaving Fester's head she was using a scraping motion with the blade instead of cutting.
    The best technique I have seen was in the old Gerlad McBoing Boing cartoons when the father was shaving with a straight he was even stretching the skin and making a stroke that is possible and regularly used.
