The other night I caught the movie "Wrestling Ernest Hemingway" on an obscure cable channel. Its about 13 years old and stars Robert Duval as Walter, a retired Cuban barber and Richard Harris as Frank, a retired Irish seaman. There is a scene where Walter decides he has to help Frank out by "cleaning him up". He cuts his hair and then gives him a straight shave. He strops the razor, uses the brush with soap in a mug, and then gives him the shave.
