Thread: Straight Razor Widow

I'm about 30 days into my straight razor career and my wife says " I've become a Straight Razor Widow!" Any other widow makers out there?

at first my wife liked my straight shaving but this morning when i woke her up the first thing she said was "your shaving again?"

My wife is an army widow, so the razors are irrellevant. She likes them because I don't have to leave home to use them, and they won't take me away for months at a time.

Man that is heavy. I have no idea what that kind of life would be like. And she must be really special.

She is the best little woman in the world, and I thank God daily that she puts up with my stupid job. . . and my stupid ass.

LOL....

OK... great timing for this thread.

We were putting up the Christmas tree last night and well you know ...... I come over to the laptop in the living room and all I hear is "If you refresh that F@#$ING classifieds again I'm gonna shove an ornament up your ...." LOL

So I know where you're coming from ...

It takes a mature woman to handle you form of duty. Thank you for your service.


Take Care,

Finding this world of straight razors about a year and a half ago is something that has brought out my selfish and inconsiderate side in spades. I immersed myself heavily in learning as much as a could in a short time; Obsession comes to mind. Not good for marital bliss and shame on me for that. So, I can completely justify my wife's initial disdain for my immersion into this.

More than the time on the net, what sticks in her craw are the times I get sidetracked in "Razorville" as she calls it. You know, the times you think you're only going to spend 30 minutes working on a razor and it turns into 2 hours.

Thankfully, I've been able to check myself more often and I'm coming back to reality! And bringing things back into balance. Whew!

Metal, sharp things and specifically these razors and hones certainly can have a funny way of taking over I tell ya.

Perspective, Chris! Perspective!
