Thanked: 28LOL Man 2 things came in the mail just before and my SWMBO LITERALLY Roundhouse kicked (she use to do Wing Chun Kung Fu and recently taken a liking to Muay Thai Kick boxing) me saying " YOU PROMISED!!!NO MORE" before I could explain to her that one package was the strop that larry from whipped dog was sending me from the pack I bought months and months ago when the poor man's strop's were out of stock and that the other package was razors back from sharpening. Lucky I have good reflexes and I guarded with a shin block or I'd have cracked ribs right now.
so, in light of this I say... what SWMBO Don't know.... won't hurt ME Lol"In the words of the ancients, one should make his decisions within the space of seven breaths." Yamamoto Tsunetomo

Thanked: 4827My wife is also into kick boxing. Funny that. Do they go there to learn to combat the RAD?

Saitou, that was one of the funniest narratives I've read in weeks, thanks for the laughter.
WhiskerHarvest say: He who block with shin strop on one leg.
Women are quick to point out our RAD without ever addressing thier own! I would compare my fondness for shaving paraphernalia with the acres of fabric SWMBO has hanging in the walk-in if I wasn't so afraid of the trickle down argument that is guaranteed to ensue.I shave because I want to, not because I have to!

Thanked: 28I KNOW! She has bought stuff from china trying to start up her own ebay business! and paid 300 dollars for a dress makers mannican, an expensive sewing machine. and she has yet to turn a profit on ebay. I on the other hand could sell all my stuff that I've bought at the VERY LEAST break even most likely have something on top. but no she won't hear any of it I will just recieve a muay thai knee/elbow combination

I love hearing that other brides are just as intolerant of razors as my sweetness. My wife doesn't beat me physically mind you, but she is an expert in psychological warfare. I still shiver reminiscing on some of her better threats.
As it turns out, I happen to be spiteful and inventive. I make sure I have lots of stubble on date night so it looks like she was making out with a cactus! And I have been collecting one brand of razor which makes it way easier to justify RAD then random purchases. Razor complaint has been down in recent weeks.
Remember gentlemen, if you have surpassed seven razors you can still use the seven day set argument if you are attempting to collect seven from one maker. There is also nothing as sophisticated as a man who has shaved with razors of different origins, today I sample Germany, tomorrow Japan!
Wait, I don't think this will help keep anyone off ebay! Sorry gents!I shave because I want to, not because I have to!

Thanked: 2Ahh! the things us men have to resort too! My SWMBO is very understanding, we also come from a martial arts background, I just explain that I just want to get of nice set of razors to shave with and I will sell off the rest once I try them a few times, actually that is true on my part. I have started to sell off the ones I don't want. The truth is easier and I get to sleep in the bed instead of the shed.

I finally figured it out (took a couple of decades). The more SWMBO says she saved simply means she spent more. Its like one of those theorems we learned in High School geometry.

Do you guys think this could be honed out?
One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.
