They did make a big fuss about the shaving scene in the 2012 remake of Anna Karenina with Matthew MacFayden - it was on all the blogs, clips, stills, etc. No-one ever reported an upswing in straight-razor sales though.

Which was a shame for me - the studio props buyer used one of my oldies for the razor, along with some cased sets, paddle strops and shaving mugs to decorate the barbours parlour with - even sent a courier round to pick it up and drop it off, as well as paying handsomely for the use of the items.
