Thread: JUST HAD MY REAR END CHEWED OUT

I just got my Camellia Oil from SRD and went to put it on all my blades. Inwalks the wife. While I was oiling and putting my razors into my new razor rollfrom Whipped dog she was able to do a quick count of how many I have acquiredin the past 2 or so weeks of starting on this hobby. BTW the count is now 6 with 1 on the way. I am lucky she did not see the hones.

RAD IS STRONG!

LOL.....

Reminds me of the correction I was given regards to my camera equipment. I soon learned to buy everything that looks similar. All Nikon lenses, Lowe Pro bags... And so on. Makes it harder to tell what is new or the same stuff been around for months. I will have to start that with Razors too. Only buy ones with black scales, Then i can pass it off as the one I bought when she was with me for 15.00....

I just told her it is a verry early fathers day gift to my self what other gift giving holidays are comeing up lol

My wife recently found my stash spot under the stairs. She told me it was like I was hiding families during WWII... Thankfully, she has a clothes shopping habit, so there's not much room to complain!

You can always use Mothers day. What woman doesn't like the BBS face a straight can give.

I have so much razor stuff all over my apt, no one but me can tell when I get something new. I think that's the best solution to the hiding problem.

Tell her your "Testing" them...When packages come to the house, I tell my wife they're samples, or Razor's I'm honing for someone...She's getting wise though. Nothing ever leaves....

Only six??? Kindly inform your SWMBO to relax...You still have fifty-four more straight razors to go before your rear end qualifies for a chewing out.

With 30 razors, 15 of which are displayed and in rotation, I can always say "I've had that one for a while", and "I don't even remember where I got that one, or how much it was. Probably only $20 or so" when my wife asks about a specific razor. It's not that she minds the smaller purchases, but let's just say that I didn't tell her what I spent on the NOS Dubl Duck Goldedge. In all fairness, if I had bought it off ebay and not found it in an antiques shop, it would have been triple the price.

My wife knows exactly what razors I have, and doesn't care about that. She just wishes I would go back to shaving once a week rather than everyday. She just doesn't seem to understand that there is a certain amount of joy in using a cut-throat razor that just can't be found at Mach 3 in a Gillette. She just wants some of her bathroom time back.
