I did a Google search on the site and paged through the first half dozen pages trying to find this, as I didn't think it could have gone unnoticed but maybe it has. Bite the Bullet is an old western in which James Coburn has two shaving scenes, the second one being a duet with Gene Hackman. Both are using DE razors, which I guess works out OK. I missed any mention of particular dates, but the movie takes place during the Teddy Roosevelt administration and is based on a race that took place in 1906, according to Wikipedia. I would think that straights would have still been more common that soon after the introduction of the safety razor, but there is quite a bit in the movie that is neither common nor an anachronism.
In the HBO series, "Luck", Joey Rathburn ( played by Richard Kind) is contemplating suicide. He lathers up with mug and brush, takes out his pistol, aims it at himself, changes his mind, but fires anyway. The bullet ricochets off the wall and strikes him anyway wounding him. He goes to the hospital without completing his shave.

He tells her to do press-ups !!

I think it is Django unchained or maybe 12 years a slave. But a slave is giving a straight shave to the master on the porch. Pretty intense scene where you think she is gonna kill him
