Thread: Think I might spend too much time inflicting this hobby on my better half...

Funny story!

So I was browsing eBay last night just before bed when SWMBO leans over and says she likes a blade I'm looking at, because she likes wedge blades with barbers notches and humped tangs. And then proceeds to tell me that it's a 5/8 blade in horn scales.

Now I know she's not really interested in razors and certainly doesn't spend hours on SRP and eBay, so clearly I've spent far too much time blathering on at her about this and she's just picked up a load of stuff by some bizarre form of razor osmosis..!

Nuthin like forcing your nearest and dearest to join you in RAD fuelled madness lol!

YES! I know that exact sentiment. Ahhhhh, I'm not alone.

SWMBO can tell my friends that different types of steel react differently to sharpening, which is why I need to have different sharpening stones.

Can someone send her an anonymous email about how I need and Escher?

I dont think my wife is quite there, but she has learned some lingo. I was attempting to hone a razor two days ago and making a light slurry and asked her if she knew what slurry was. Without missing a beat she replyed " Mmmmm yeah, thats the stuff you leave in my sink after you flatten your rocks"
