    Can you remember the moment where you spotted an actor or actrice grabbing for a Straight razor or some vintage Gillette or a Merkur.
    and you got excited because you can identify the tools used or are glad your favorite actor knows what he is doing because he is whipping up that lather like a maniac with a badger brush ?



    Name the movie if you can remember , the actor and even greater if you have a screen shot.


    Kill Bill 2 -2004 -

    Uma Thurman
    gets burried alive ,they put her into a coffin.
    she manages to grab a straight razor from her boots and cut loose her hands while she is burried deep under the ground.

    The New Galactica Battlestar Series -2004-


    Season 1 - Dont remember which episode.


    Edward James Olmos who plays Adama can be seen shaving with a Gillette Blackhandle vintage and cuts himself while shaving his neck. (the cut was for the movie he is a good enough shaver to not be so dumb)

    Season 3 - Episode 4 Exodus 2

    Edward James Olmos has finally gotten the people back who he had to leave behind for 4 months on a planet. The people had been living there for a year already but he kept into space with his space ship. the crew all grew some more weight on themselfs and def. let their hair and moustache grow.
    To celebrate this what better to do then a nice shave so he cuts his moustache off as close as possible and fire's up his Merkur Vision.

    Wasn't it in Rio Bravo, 1971, that John Wayne got a straight shave from Angie Dickinson?

    Both the movie and the TV series. A combination of straight, double edge, and single edge razors.

    James Bond in Goldfinger pulls a fatboy razor out on the plane ride to the states. It had a hidden transmitter encased within it that he placed in the heel of his shoe. (if I remember correctly)

    DE sightings:

    In "The Aviator" there's a scene where Ava Gardner is shaving Howard Hughes with a DE, preparing him for the senate hearings after he'd let himself go to seed. The razor looked really crusty -- maybe this was intentional, to highlight Hughes' germ phobia. She didn't do a very good job...

    "The Graduate" -- Dustin Hoffman's character trying to shave while his mother is nagging him.

    "Carnal Knowledge" -- Art Garfunkel's character trying to shave while Jack Nicholson is haranguing him.

    I think the reason the shaving scenes stuck with me when I saw those last two movies (long before I was into DE razors), was how careful both men were being about their shaves -- unlike Ava, they actually knew what they were doing...

    "What's New Pussycat". Woody Allen, yes, Woody Allen shaves with a straight. Well, that's the premise.

    Anyone remember Rounders?

    Ed Norton and MATT DAMON (say it in your Team America voice) go to a barbershop and get a good shave?
