Any film buffs out there? I love movies and movie trivia ("Leave the gun. Take the cannolis.") I know of many flicks with at least one scene in which a straight razor play a prominent role. Of course we know of the recent Tim Burton musical, oh damn the title escapes me just now. However I do remember the 1980 Brian DePalma flop Dressed to Kill in which Angie Dickenson gets slashed to death with a straight razor.

Anyone else?

Lot's of Cowboy/Wild West films have shaving scenes in them.

[AFDavis11]

My fav remains "Last Tango in Paris". Dark, disturbing, violent movie, but what a great straight scene.

[Arthur Dent]

"Eastern Promises" There is a straight scene right at the begining, and the one the most intense fight scenes I've seen toward the end.

"Pan's Labyrinth" Nice little shaving scene.

I know that I know movies, more to come.

Speed Racer has a creepy white haired Asian who crouches on cars like some sort of half human half cat freak... He uses a straight at one point... Realistic sound effect on it too. :P

[Arthur Dent]

"Barry Lyndon" There is a scene where he is using a razor from a seven day set.

[LilithParker]

There have been a few times when I've been channel-surfing and caught someone using a straight. It's usually been westerns, though, which I'm not terribly fond of, so as soon as the shaving was finished, I moved on. My love for the TV series M*A*S*H grew a few weeks ago when I saw an episode in which Col. Potter shaved himself with a straight. (I think it's "Mail Call Again" in season 4.)

It's so frustrating to see someone lathered up, razor in hand, and then... they get interrupted and don't actually shave. *sigh*

I seen a movie once where a straight was cursed and a guy cut himself then the soul of the previous owner took over and was a serial killer. Don't remember the name but good film.

There was a brief scene in Prison Break season 3 where a dude shaved Lachero's head, having the scales extended like it were a knife.

Scent of a woman had a brief scene.

The Green Mile, they used one to shave the Native American's head before execution.

Thats all I can think of, off the top of my head.

There is a shaving scene in Event Horizon. Right before everything goes nutso. But the guy has the blade angle all wrong, sigh.

[smythe]

Talk about shaving angle… though not a “movie” I remember a scene in the series The Twilight Zone (the old TZ, season, 3 episode 1 staring Elizabeth Montgomery & Charles Bronson titled “Two”) with Charles shaving himself in an abandoned barber shop… the razor angle was about 90 degrees... and he got BBS too!

[Lunumbra]

"The Untouchables" has Robert De Niro as Al Capone being shaved with a straight. Capone startles at one point and as a result the barber nicks him. There is the shot of the barber's face in a look of horror as he thinks he is going to be killed.

North By Northwest - The straight vs mini-de

[freebird]

I've seen a couple of silent movies that had straight shaves in them, but their title escapes me at the moment.

[icedog]

It doesn't have to be a shaving scene. It has only to feature a straight razor.

In Captains Courageous Manuel loses his new razor in a bet with Long Jack after Harvey cheated by tangling Long Jack's fishing lines.

[mrbhagwan]

Alfred Hitch****'s Spellbound. . .

Gregory Peck takes a little stroll with a straight razor . . . will he? DID HE????

See the movie!

[wescap34]

Empire of the Sun--Prisoners have straight razors? Strange

The Commancheros--none other than the Duke himself enjoying a straight shave

[Sondheim]

The Matrix's Twins(The Ghosts) use straight razors(modified) as their weapons of choice. In A Clockwork Orange, Alex should have used a straight, as that was his weapon of choice in the book.

[wescap34]

Maybe we can get Sly to do a straight shave in Rocky XXV

[icedog]

In the movie Matewan, C.E. Lively cut a kid's throat with one.
