Thread: shaving hurts and does not remove hair! advice needed

Hopefully Glen's test shave won't take the edge off of it . Or it might be just fine.

but if that doesn't work out:

1) For probably around a grand you could get a custom razor maker to duplicate that one precisely, even right down to the color, but made out of the finest steel. Fiance would never know.

2) Explain to the fiance that it's an absolutely beautiful piece but it's a display razor. Like they do with swords and not meant to be used. That it's inspired you to buy another one to start straight shaving with. Then get a nice wooden cradle for it and put it up front in the hutch.

3) Lie through your teeth. Get a different one to shave with and tell her you only paid $10 for it. Tell her that the Venus is such a nice one and especially since it came from her that you want to preserve it in brand new condition just to look at and remember. (heh, she might have been drawn to that one because of the brand name right? Goddess of love and everything). Might work.
