OK a quick question for you guys as I fear for my life....

I'm still realtively new to this straight razor malarky having been at it now for under a year but the other day my wife saw me in the middle of shaving and asked me:

"Would you let me shave you?"

I FROZE.

Its taken me this long to get used to trusting my own hand on my face. And you can only explain away the long slit marks on your cheek so often. You tell them 'Oh I cut myself shaving' and you see them thinking 'What the hell was he shaving with, a hacksaw?'

ANYWAY I nervously tried to divert her question by asking 'Why would you wanna do that?' which wass met by the even more bizzare response:

"I dunno. Its kinda a turn-on...."



She went on to speak about something to do with trust but rest assured I kept the blade that day. I guess i'm just wondering has anyone else been told anything similar? Go on now... if you are with a partner ask them... reply to the thread and tell me what they say. I wanna know if this is a common theme or whether I should lock up my razor and sleep with one eye open....
