famous wetshavers

the most recent episode showed gaius baltar wetshaving with a straight razor and I couldn't help but note his technique.
Was it me or was his technique scary/scrape-y/bad?
Thats funny. I remember this episode.
Ironically, as this show was staged as early sixties, I swear Don was shaving with a black handled SS or adjustable. If thats the case these razors were'nt even invented I believe till the late 60's or the 70's. What a faux-pas
Quick raise the Bat Signal
, maybe DoubleE , Asylum Guido or Thirdeye could verify this for us

I wasn't into DE shaving yet, much less full blown RAD. Needless to say, I didn't notice. The MM producers are very adamant about getting the details down, so someone should review the episode and, if there were any historical inaccuracies, point them out.
Guarantee that Mr. Draper will have a 60 fatboy in hand the next time he's seen shaving (or coldcocking a smarmy comedian).
Ok maybe this is a bit obscure but I remember Harrison Ford shaving with a brush and soap bowl in the movie Frantic.
Frasier Crane... Kelsey Grammer's character on Cheers and Frasier
I'm assuming you knew that, but I was just clarifying
Kelsey Grammer is my favourite too and dr. Frasier as a character could be a perfect gentleman. I always thinking about Kelsey as a classic shaver and somebody who enjoys a good mechanic watch and a nice fountainpen, etc.
That episode on Frasier where the shaving cream explodes all over his equally refined brother Miles on Frasier is hilarious. I saw that clip posted somewhere

you can ad george bush to that list after the tragedy of 911 i think he was hiding during the aftermath that day and was hoping his hairs would fall out so he would not be noticed.
The thought of Statesmen and other prominent world figures using cartridges and canned foam makes me a little uneasy.
I like to think all of my favourite writers use a soap (either Williams or Penhaligons; it doesn't matter which, as long as they don't have a rotation). Or have magnificent beards.

Tom Cruise (as Claus von Stauffenberg) wetshaves in Valkyrie. Gives himself a nice little nick on the throat, too (although deliberately).
Thornhill in North by Northwest has a wetshaving scene with a comically small DE and Brush. He seems to have a pretty good lather going though.
I saw one and can't remember the title, but he was using a knack or something similar.
Here a couple 
Virna Lisi & Jessica Simpson (looks like Virna has a better technique?)

I think I would need to see both in person to truly decide about their technique....

I was actually going to reference this. I STILL can't figure out what the heck he's using either. From all I can see/tell, it looks like some kind of SS....superspeed that is.
Also 'loved' the fact that he was obviously already BBS, but was lathered up and 'shaving' anyway. I didn't even see a friggin' blade, man.
