    My wife isn't a huge fan of my random razor purchases but she has realized that they are far cheaper than my guns (.41 magnum is fun as help but not cheap to shoot. Almost makes the .357 seem affordable), skiing, fly fishing, scuba diving and mountain biking.

    Granted, all of them combined isn't good for my bank account, but at least with the razors I end up clean, south, and smelling good.

    Not to pull this off base, but on the gun issue...

    I grew up around guns. We didn't shoot a lot, but I hunted with my dad from time to time, and was well aware of how to properly handle them and how truly lethal they can be. My father's generation, and those before him we also well acquainted with firearms and understood them as potentially lethal tools, just like knives, combines, etc.

    People my age and younger though don't tend to have the same experience. The bulk of their exposure to fire arms are in movies and video games. I have no problem with either, but when that's the only exposure kids get, they see guns as toys that don't do any real damage, and they get a thrill from the idea of using one in a fashion they've seen in those same games and movies. The result is a paradigm in which violent action is common and does not result in permanent harm. Kids don't think that way consciously, but subconsciously their minds don't equate firearms with danger.

    I have both. I have kids. They will learn (and are learning) how to respect them, just like the fireplace, a hot oven, moving vehicles, etc.

    Razors are cheaper per item than car parts and guns though.

    Australian gun laws require that the owner of a gun license be the only person who has access to the gun safe. It was because of this that a guy I used to shoot with would store anything he bought for himself in his gun safe. If the wife saw it he would just say "What, this? I've had this for ages. You just haven't seen it because it was in the safe." But in reality it would have been bought just yesterday.

    Good lord, that's silly. (not the part about stuff being in there for ages when it's new. I've done that too as my wife doesn't look there). Granted, my safe is too small to hold all my handguns in addition to the long guns, but still... I keep three handguns next to my bed. I keep one ****ed and locked with a flash light, spare mag, and a can of Mace in a hidden book in my night stand. I keep my blackhawks in a locked attache case type thing next to my bed (my kids use it as a step to climb on to my bed), then I keep a couple odd sized guns down under my bed (Ruger Charger and my Marlin 30-30 with a 2x red dot) in a hard case, then most everything else goes in the safe but invariably there's something in a dresser drawer or the like.

    You shouldn’t stop buying razors until you get 365 razors and every hone made. When you get 365 razors and all the hones you can send them my way and then you can buy some more LOL.

    I did the same thing. I’m starting to get so much razor stuff, going to have to move into a bigger place soon.

    I must have the razor itch.

    Oh man, sorry I just couldn't leave this one alone. It is so funny how we all think alike, especially when it comes to getting one pass the missus... Not to mention this thread grew rather fast too...

    I have done the whole "playing up the deal" and "in the long run savings"... heck I even have 5 razors stashed in the file cabinet (it would take an act of god to get her to wade around my VA and military paperwork so it's probably the safest place)... I also have a drawer safe (told the wife it was for protecting coins I collect and she cant remember the combo to save her life) and have a few stashed there too.. Heck sometimes I feel like I am some junky with razors stashed, along with polishes, scales material... You know.. before long someone is gonna end up posting something about smuggling something pass their wife in thier BUM!

    We are Sooooooo dooomed...
