    Looks like Nicholas Cage could use some help on his blade angle! Edward G. Robinson gets shaved with a straight in "Key Largo".

    Adrian Bordie in Darjeeling Limited sahve with his fathers DE in the men's room at a train station. It's a slant, I think a Hoffritz.

    Ethan Hawke shaves his entire body with a straight to keep from shedding skin and hair the can reveal his true identity.

    Clark Gable in "The Tall Men" shaves with a straight and even lathers up for a second pass.

    In Beau Brummell: This Charming Man, James Purefoy as Beau Brummell shaves with a straight razor. Unfortunately it's more of a "theatrical shave" than a real shave, but I like the way he wears a towel over his shoulder to wipe the razor while shaving.

    It was a very good film, maybe a bit naïvely in it's cinematography, but nevertheless a pleasnt film to watch. Made me order the book it is based upon (Amazon US/Amazon UK)

    3 sightings this weekend, so far.......

    Full Metal Jacket (1987); The scene where Joker meets up with Cowboy in "Nam, Cowboy appears to be using a DE.

    Iron Man (2008); Not sure how much to say here, as it's still opening weekend for this movie, but there is a DE in use in a scene of this film.

    From the Previews; coming up Adam Sandler movie "You Don't Mess With Zohan";
    Scene where Adam Sandler's character, Zohan, is shaving with a straight razor.

    Three's Company, the episode where Mr. Roper listens to Jack, Chrissy and Jack's girl friend in the drain. Jack is shaving with a DE razor but uses canned cream.

    Just watched The Hulk (2003, Ang Lee). Eric Bana shaves his neck with a Merkur HD long in two scenes, once as Banner, and once a twisted Hulk memory of the other scene in which Banner wipes the fog off the mirror to reveal The Hulk who proceeds to break through the mirror and grab Banner by the throat.

    I liked the scene in Reservoir Dogs when Mr. Blonde slashes the cops face then cuts off his ear with a straight. He then picks up the ear and talks into it. IIRC he said "Can ya hear me?"
    Also, in a couple episodes of lost there are shaving scenes. Come to think of it though I don't think they were DE's but Desmond is shaving in "The Hatch" when they finally get the door opened and then John Lock is in the bathroom shaving when somebody else is showering. John says something like "The steam opens up my pores"

    Though I'm not sure that counts as a shaving scene! :)

    It was Jack in the shower. And then Locke "causally" mentions that he thought it'd be a good time to talk about their "problem," referring to The Other they were holding in the ex-gun locker. That scene was so husband and wifey, I was cracking up!

    So true... I'm looking forward to tonights episode. I just started watching it last year. I rented all the dvd's so I could catch up and now I have to wait a week between episodes ARGH! I used to buycott the show because when they are filming in downtown Honolulu streets they reap havoc on our already screwed up traffic. I got over it though and started watching and am now totally hooked. Sorry to stray off topic. Wont happen again.

    I watched North By Northwest this weekend. It's been mentioned, but it is a memorable scene with Cary Grant using Eva Marie Saint's a comically-tiny travel DE and Brush in the restroom of a train station.

    Memorable scene in the second season of Deadwood, where Garret Dillihunt's character Mr. Wolcott, "Settles Accounts" at a brothel with a straight razor.

    Wouldn't exactly call that "dry" shaving. Look at all the sweat on his face.

    The Patriot: I saw one post, there are actually two scenes..just before the final battle the evil Tavington is having a Str8 shave in a creek..Doing a pretty good job!

    What Happens in Vegas: Bathroom scene during the party..you can see a DE on the shelf.

    Butch and Sundance the early days: Sundance has to be shaved by Butch's wife after getting shot.

    TV series Alias Smith and Jones: Lots of str8 shaving.
