i have to watch dirty dozen again for those secenes, i do know telly savalas had to shave since he was bald,OK, so I have a few. First of a few people have mentioned Hogan's Heroes. I remember the scene between Hogan and Klink in the bathroom in England. There was also a scene in one where Newkirk was whipping up lather in a white milk glass mug, and then it shows him shaving with a DE a few moments later. I also remember a scene showing Colonel Klink shaving with a straight. In Saving Private Ryan, there's a scene where Captain Miller is talking to the Major and he is telling him about his new mission to go get Ryan and Hanks looks over and sees a Private shaving with a DE that looks like a SS to me. Also pictured is a metal bowl a brush and a tube of cream. In The Natural there is the scene someone else mentioned with the DE and the Straight where the two guys are discussing winning the World Series. Schindler's List has a scene where Schindler is shown shaving with a DE and Goeth the camp Kommandant is shown shaving with a straight. It's a good scene because they keep cutting back and forth between the two. And last but not least there's the infamous shaving scenes in The Dirty Dozen. The one where Lee Marvin has them shave without hot water so they will unite as a team in defiance, the best I can remember that shows some DE razors, I need to rewatch that one. I think it's funny how I never noticed these things until I got into this hobby of wet shaving. I never noticed things like the guy in Private Ryan, to me he was just a guy shaving, but now I see a scene like that and I'm pausing and rewinding saying to myself "oooohhhh, what kind of razor is that, what is that tube of cream, what kind of brush is that, etc,etc...
First Blood. they sharpen a straight on a strop and then try to give John Rambo a shave dry.
Ok - not shaving, but there's a Razor (Slim Adjustable) used by Sean Connery in "Goldfinger"
And as a side note, being just 6 yo at the time when Goldfinger came out, can anybody who was an adult at the time recall if "***** Galore" was controversial? It doesn't even seem very innuendo-ish, if you know what I mean.
several have already mentioned M.A.S.H.
only other non-modern i've seen was a straight in the live-action Speed Racer movie-near the end one of the "bad guy" drivers is shaving with a straight. that was actually the first time i ever saw one used.
this aughta just go in general discussion so we don't have to herald every mention of a straight razor.
Phenomenon 1996 John Travolta his girlfriend in the movie shaves his face with a Schick Krona. Before shave it shows her using the tto mechanism to put the blade in.
