    What you need is an alternative place to receive your packages...... and deep pockets.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I hope you didn't initially believe you would be saving money by going the straight razor route. I can buy the "save the environment" rationalization, but not monetary savings...

    Too true. I think that is the biggest myth about DE or straight razor shaving. I, personally, don't know anyone who has come remotely close to saving money.

    Does anyone?

    And you have been doing it for how long you said?

    SWMBO's can be a tricky thing
    What I have found work for me, is to involve her in my new hobby as much as possible.
    Showing and telling her all about the gear I'm buying way to much of..

    The first time she saw my strops hanging in the bathroom she stormed out of there, asking me what kind of sick new sex toy I had bought now
    The next fortnight she told all guests at our house to use the other toilet in the house..

    She knows better now, and even thinks it's kinda cool.

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....
