Have you used any of the stuff yet? Would it be possible to get your wife's money back? If not, just thank her profusely and secretly get a stash of replacements!

I was a little afraid of that. Do you think the person who hones my razor might be able to tell?

And no, no option for returning, but I can always keep it as a practice blade...
