This thread got me thinking. My girlfriend and I have only been together for 8 months but I don't like to keep secrets from her.

We were having a chat about various relationship things earlier, and I decided on the spur of the moment to tell her about my RAD. I explained about the high end razors I bought and then subsequently sold, showed her the 3 razors I currently have (I had them out for honing them anyway), then disclosed the 3 which are on order or in the mail right now (TI SRP, Maestro, Robert Williams).

It all went very well, and I feel much better not having to hide anything. We've agreed that small purchases are fine and we don't need to ask/tell each other, but anything big then we'll discuss it - out of respect for each other even though it's our own money (we're not at the 'joint account' stage yet).

I also got the green light to order the new strop from Tony I've been thinking of recently, bonus!
