From Hell (2001)

Corrected entry: During the scenes after Inspector Abberline gives Mary a few pieces of gold for room and board for the night; The scenes 'zooming in' across the table and drawing up to the 'Underpriviledged', you can see at the start of the scene what appears to be a modern razor. During that time period they did not have razor blades in that fashion, all razor blades were straight.

Correction: Actually, the first safety razor was invented and marketed by the Kampfe Brothers in the 1880s (contrary to popular belief, Gillette just invented the disposable blade). See: http://www.creekstone.net/razors/firstrazor.htm.
