    This is what I always tell my wife when she says I have too many razors. " Some day, someone in our family will have a nice collection they can sell off for a college education." But as long as Male human beings are still being born in our family, I know that will never happen.

    Txshooter38, that's one conversation never heard in my home. I live alone and the cat couldn't give a damn what I buy as long as food and treats appear regularly.

    I think I might hire an actress and have her record a series of marital harangues I play whenever I find and buy an exceptional shaving item so I can generally remember what it was like to be married (and I don't miss that state.)

    I read this chuckled and read it to my wife. she says "Who's that? A quote from us?" No, I just read that here. "Oh. Where do they live? ..Near us?"


    I smell trouble. An intervention brewing.

    Lol. I just read your post to my wife and she is laughing. If you ever get to Texas we will have to get together for that intervention. The wives can go shoe shopping while we reflect on all of our beautiful razors!

    Talk about needing an intervention....shoes....geez!

    Ha! Sounds good, thank you for the invite, THAT sounds like an intervention done right. I'll bring the stones (Usually pack one anyways).

    I probably would have went for the blinds, and then sought after a razor. It wouldn't be worth the fight! Hahaha. "A happy Wife is a happy life!"

    I remodeled my small bathroom for the wife to get my first str8 razor, which has been ordered.[emoji106]

    Now she wants me to move all my newly accumulated stuff into that bathroom.[emoji57]

    I think my wife was just glad I had an idea of what I wanted for Christmas. L0L. She went through Cosmetology school and had an old interchangeable blade (I guess shavette style). She was a little confused by me wanting to get a straight razor because I have a beard and I am not allowed to shave it. Also I have been growing it out like I have never done before so it kind of was like what do you need an expensive razor for just to trim your cheeks.

    But like someone said she started me down the road when she sent me to that new barber. He used a straight razor and beard oil and all manner of other craziness that I ended up loving. The beard oil keeps my chin mop from tangling the mustache wax keeps my lip whiskers out of my food. The straight razor is going to make this beard look more like a beard and less like I am a homeless guy with no wife that cares what I look like. L0L.
