Thread: Advice in convincing the Mrs...

Thank you all, some great advice. I had always heard that this forum was great for support, and it certainly is true. Looking forward to the months of beginning this art and asking more questions along the way. I'll be sure to chronicle the wife's change of heart on the matter as well: )

One way to get her on board quickly is to throw in something for her whenever you order something shave related. Ordering some soap and cream, throw in a lotion or body soap for her.

Just let her know if you do knick yourself, it'll be like a paper cut versus the chunk of skin missing from 3, 4, or 5 blades tearing into you. The worst cuts I've ever had came at the behest of a Fusion, and those took a week or more to heal instead of two days. Oh, yeah, and just let her know if you do put the cut throat into literal sense...just think of all the life insurance she'll get!

Are you a man or a mouse?

Just make her understand who the boss is-Har har

Seriously though, Like I've said many times the secret to a long marriage is you both have your own discretionary fund so you can buy what either of you want without getting "permission" from each other. Of course the fund is limited and based on your finances.

OR ... you could do like the rest of us and tell her how much money you will save !!!!

My wife was the same when I started. She said that she needed to be supervising when I shaved in case I was to bleed out. that lasted all of one shave.

You need permission from your wife to do something you really want to try? Where are your balls man? Harmony, unity and all that other crap is B.S.! Take the woman, throw her to the ground, mount her and show her who's the MAN!

Of course, if she is bigger and stronger than you, then go along to get along. You can always subscribe to the SRP underground movement designed especially for situations like yours. Brown paper wrapping and a fake return address. They'll even perfume the package so if the wife gets to it first, she'll think you bought a present for her and not wanting to spoil the surprise, will leave the package alone.

Of course, this advise is coming to you from a man twice divorced. I never could figure out what their problem was. Women?

You just show her the pimp hand if she complains! If that doesn't work get P.O. Box and hae your stuf sent there.... An shave at night..

Start, she'll come around. I have all three of my kids, two boys and a girl on DE, brush and soap shaving. The oldest boy, is straight razor shaving now and my wife wants to learn, after she had her legs shaved with a straight by me. It is a better system, once you learn. Yes, there could be some cuts. Just stop the bleeding and keep on going. The cuts will come further and further in between, and the shaves better and better. Read, learn and practice. It is a lot of fun by the way. Double O

My wife was the same. I mentioned it once or twice and she didnt seem to approve so i just thought to hell with it... If she can have her interests i can have mine... And i bought my first one off the bay. When it arrived i pulled it out of the packaging and hid behind the razor just in the event of any wild attack off the wife but when she saw it she realised my mind was made up and well... With the exeption of interrupting a shave once or twice... Has left me to it. Ive even got my own shelf in the bathroom (its sacred ground in our house so for her to donate me my own space was like christmas had arrived).

Sell it to her... As someone else has mentioned tell her how much money you will save (we all know youre likely to remortgage your house and spend your life savings on this grand hobby but its worth it) and then slowly start to introduce more and more to your collection.

I'm still getting into the hobby but its slowly taking over. I love the ritual, the support from many great guys here and the chance to spend some money on myself.

Go for it. If your wife has any questions send here here and im sure we will all plead your case
