Thread: JUST HAD MY REAR END CHEWED OUT

The tools were justified as useful for far more than just razor stuff (true...mothers day gift has already been crafted thanks to these); the amazon purchase was so that I could get free shipping on an order for work (though I had to get one more soap b/c it came with a travel case and I'll be on the road in a couple weeks); the ebay purchases were "watch list" items I couldn't resist after finding out I had money to play with and could therefore allow myself to look at razors online.

The counter to my expenditures she's gotten lots of fabric for crafts around the house (curtains, easter clothes, etc.) and she's getting new clothes now as all her maternity clothes no longer fit (PTL) and she needed some new clothes before she got pregnant.

Still, I'm trying to think if there's a good place I could secret my razor purchases away in an underground railroad type fashion! That which hits the fan may yet strike here!

Peace,

Hmmm maternity clothes...

This tells me that you have a priority shift around the corner.
The good news is that good razors last and last...

Sounds like life is good. Have fun and enjoy.

Yep...little guy's just a week old (10 days today). If I hadn't gotten a rebate check back those purchases would have been diapers instead of razor goods! I'm making the best use of him as I can though...see here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/conte...-public-5.html (page five). I figured the odds of there being another crazy opportunity for me to lather in public were pretty slim, and since he would be absorbing pretty much any razor money in the future maybe he could help me get him a razor.

My wife's great btw. Love her to death, and she's into scales too. "All those black and white razors are boring. You should find ones that look cool too." And I'm all for that of course...but all is subsequent (as it should be) to buying diapers, feeding kids, and even feeding ourselves! If we just didn't have to eat, or pay bills we could have a lot more fun.
