Until relatively recently, hairy apes like you and I had two options when it came to dealing with unkempt hair; either you just hacked it short, or you took an Absurdly Sharp Blade and proceeded to scrape your skin, possibly off. Thus evolved the barber's art; honing, stropping and wielding those wicked-looking straight razors to dispose of unseemly hair without getting blood all over a customer's shirt. Except that in movieland, however, this is only slightly less dangerous than doing it oneself, as, every so often, that straight razor would end up slicing the customer's throat. A milder version of this trope involves the customer getting a nonlethal cut, either by accident or intentionally on the barber's part. See also Cut Himself Shaving and There Will Be Toilet Paper. For instances where something sharp barely grazes someone, see Close-Call Haircut and Paper Cutting. |

Cowboy Bebop (2021). The episode "Blue Crow Waltz" opens with Vicious apparently talking of giving an enemy a Slashed Throat, but he's actually discussing how he likes having a woman shave his balls with a straight razor. He then gets into an argument with his friend Fearless who doesn't see the need for manscaping, especially if it involves your testicles being menaced by a razor-sharp blade. | |

The Resistance Banker. Walraven is about to meet a contact in La Résistance, when a barber suddenly drags him into a shop and starts shaving him. It soon becomes clear the Germans were hiding in the house he was about to enter and had already arrested his contact. Without the barber, Walraven would have walked right into a trap. When the Germans shoot the man they arrested right outside the shop the barber's hand is shaking, though he doesn't cut Walraven because he stops at that point. | |

Discworld In the novel Feet of Clay, Samuel Vimes invokes this as an excuse to shave himself — he claims he's had too many people try to kill him to be comfortable with anyone holding a blade near his throat. The real reason is that having grown up in the gutter, he resents the aristocracy and hates having servants wait on him. In Jingo, Vimes reflects on the case of Sweeney Jones, the Barber of Gleam Street, who was cutting his customers' throats. Although, unlike his Roundword namesake, not on purpose. Invoked in Monstrous Regiment two different ways: When Sweet Polly Oliver Polly Perks is given the task of shaving Lieutenant Blouse — under the impression that, as a chap, she has a rough idea what she's doing — the Lieutenant asks her if she thinks she could kill a man. She stares at the razor in her hand and says she thinks she probably could. And when Sergeant Jackrum takes over, he discusses the current situation with the Lieutenant, and Polly wonders what might happen if the conversation doesn't go the way the Sergeant wants. |

In Disney's version of Peter Pan, Smee tries to give Captain Hook a shave but doesn't pay attention to what he is doing and ends up shaving the rear end of a seagull that had landed on Hook's head without him noticing. After the seagull flies away, Smee only finds a towel where he thinks that Captain Hook's head is supposed to be and believes he's accidentally cut off the Captain's head and tries to find it so he can put it back on. | |

Operation Finale. Mossad agent Peter Malkin assures a captive Adolf Eichmann that he really is just going to shave him before doing so. However when Eichmann starts asking innocuous questions about Peter's family, it threatens to become this trope as Peter's sister was killed during the Final Solution. Fortunately he resists the urge, as their orders are to take Eichmann back to Israel for trial. | |

This is in the backstory of Garrett (formerly "George the Fiend") from Betsy the Vampire Queen—he was an actor who was supposed to play Tarzan, but when the movie was canceled (in favor of Gone with the Wind), the producer took him to the barber for a haircut and shave. The producer was the vampire Nostro, and he had the barber slit Garrett's throat so he could drink. | |

Grim Prairie Tales: Martin insists on shaving before going to finalize the contracts with Horn, much to Blue's annoyance. While shaving, he nicks himself and then seems to lose control of his arm. When Martin looks in the mirror, he sees the ghost of Colochez holding his arm trying to force the razor across his throat. He ultimately loses the struggle and slashes his own throat. But was it Colochez's ghost, or did Martin go made and kill himself? | |

In Francis Ford Coppola's interpretation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, the trope is invoked for menace—but not carried through to its conclusion—when Dracula shaves Jonathan Harker with a cut-throat razor, though he does take pains to give Harker a small shaving cut on a pretext and then lick the blade. | |

In the second campaign of Critical Role, Yasha gives Caleb a shave with her five-and-a-half foot long greatsword at two points. The first time actually goes pretty well. The second...not so much. | |

The Enforcer (1951): Rico murders Tony Vetto while he's getting a shave, stepping up to the barber (who has been coerced into helping the killers) and taking the razor from him after he's sharpened it, then approaching Tony (whose back is to them) as the film cuts to the next scene. | |

In Brain Dead 13, if Lance chooses the "shave" (which is rather odd, since he doesn't have any facial hair), Vivi will spray him with green shaving cream, and she will use this Sinister Scythe to try and kill him in this dangerous way, a la Sweeney Todd. | |

In The Iron Hand of Mars Marcus Didius Falco finds himself accompanied to Germania by Nero's former barber, whom he fears might actually be an assassin sent to kill him. We don't find out if he is, but the barber does quite handily cut the throat of a mook who tries ambushing them. When questioned on his throat-slitting ability, the barber quietly points out that someone in his occupation is often open to abuse—he's had to learn how to defend himself. | |

In both the novel and movie of The Color Purple, Celie is required to shave Mister. Before she does it the first time, he threatens to hurt her if she ever "accidentally" cut him. Given the way he treats her, she certainly had reason to consider performing this trope on him—in the movie, fed up after years of abuse, she is this close to slashing his throat before Shug stops her. | |
