Futur on the Big Screen!!!

[Armadillar]

Sorry, this may be dated or already pointed out but.... I am bored off my *** and can't sleep... its late nothing is on so I turn on my PS3 and some Netflix (I am a bartender), and old Sly Stallone movie (Get Carter) is on there so I turn it on (don't judge), and low and behold a satin Merkur Futur is laid out on the hotel bed with his other belongings....a S n W .38, Beretta 9mm, some ammo, tooth brush and paste, aspirin and some badger brush I do not know. Thought it was cool since in the movie Rocko has a clean look and a fancy van dyke. It is a remake, so maybe an old Super Speed or Tech was in the original. It is not the worst movie ever if you have Netflix check it out!!! Its in the first 5 min, open credits, real quick.

Isn't it funny.... you see wet shaving equipment in a movie or on TV and you immediately try to identify it. I think the last time that happened was in Valkyrie - I think he was using a plain ol' 40s superspeed or something similar.

On a related note, I saw another Sly movie in the theater recently and they had some ridiculous scenes with a straight razor.

The movie Rounders was on yesterday and there is a scene in the movie were Matt Damon and Ed Norton get a straight razor shave at a barbershop. I've seen that movie half a dozen times but really couldn't recall that scene until wetshaving.

I was recently watching 'Band of Brothers' again and noticed that in episode 6 or 7, while they are dug in at Foy, that Capt. Winters is using a DE to shave while at the command outpost.

Also while flipping through the channels I stopped on a Nicholas Cage movie (I think it was 'Next') where he just gets back after stealing a car and shows a quick cut seen of him shaving with a DE.

I can't identify DEs by sight yet, but if anybody is feeling adventurous they can check those out too.

(I wouldn't recommend watching 'Next,' but fully support watching BoB.)

Yea those DE razor scenes just dont hit you until you start DE shaving and watching those movies again

I have been known to pause Blu-Rays, DVDs, and TV, rewind them, play them, and repeat until I figure out what is being used.

I do that too. I actually started a few years before wetshaving when I really got into whiskey. I'd do the same thing with whatever bottle they were drinking. My wife finds it a little annoying when I randomly shout out Balblair! Woodford Reserve! or Gillette Fatboy! during a movie.
