Thread: Lesson learned

Lesson learned...... when shaving with a straight razor, one should not engage in conversation with ones wife. If one does, one will likely find ones throat bleeding, and one feeling rather stupid. Don't ask how I know, just suffice it to say "I know".

glad there are no accompanying pics

You obviously used the word "no" somewhere in the conversation, they have powers......

Wife did that to me once, asked her I was trying to learn this straight razor thing and actually was, "shaving...a little peace and quiet please"...got the whole arms-crossed and scowl routine...so, next time she was having a bath, popped in with the newspaper and sat down on the toilet and made my point rather loudly without actually saying a word.

I've found I can do different things when working with a blade but being talked to by the Swiss Miss is not one of them. Nice little scar on back of finger as I was trying to watch a game, polish a scale, then BOOM, she chimes in and the red flowed. I guess when she is third I lose.

One would think that one would know that two is no good.

I maintained a speakerphone conversation whilst I was shaving, it's all a question of timing your strokes.

As soon as my wife starts talking to me when I shave, I pose the question:
"Do you want me to cut my self?", she has never been the reason for my cuts, but she gets the hint.

My wife says I have selective hearing when she speaks. I say it's because of the years of air craft in the service and the heavy equipment for the last 40-50 years. either way she doesn't bother me when I'm shaving .
