Thread: wives and straights

Just curious

None of those really apply. She enjoys the fact that I enjoy my hobbies. She doesn't like to watch me shave but she won't go out of her way to avoid it (most of the time), she doesn't think it's anything special that I use a straight, it's just "who I am" according to her and it fits with my personality so she doesn't see any big deal about it. She took one for her legs, but I don't think she'll continue to use it after cutting herself.

I mentioned selling some of my razors and she wanted to know why... and she gave me a funny look when I got Bill's razor in the mail but for the most part she treats it all as part of the landscape... except when I change my aftershave and use something other than my Royall Lyme and then she gets real testy.

Not sure where that would fit in for your poll.

The "too many razors" question was pretty obvious, actually

Aside from that she accepts this as part of the "boys toys" aspect of each man, so at least I get a bit of understanding - quite comparable actually to that of a therapist towards his patient

Um, my wife does not know that now I shave with a straight - yet.

I have the suspicion she would think I have too many (2 *lookers* - one from Bill, 1 great shaver from Joe and 2 honing practice). I'll have to explain how the edge needs to rest so that I can buy more good looking great shavers...

She thought the mother of pearl inlaid into the blade of the mother of pearl handled Maestro was a work of art. Very supportive of my addiction........

My wife doesn't give a monkey's how I shave, as long as a shave every day because she hates stubbles and a scruffy look.

Yes, she thinks I have too many razors. However, her overarching sentiment is that I take too much time shaving . I don't really, but anything that I'm doing that is not what she thinks I should be doing at that point in time is a waste of time (as far as she's concerned)

I'd have to answer yes to everyone of those except being afraid to show them to her <g>.

She wouldn't care how I shaved as long as I was enjoying myself, she has breifly watched me shave and still does not understand why the razor does not just sink right in, she does think I have too many razors, she also encourages me to buy more if I want (not from the household fund though <g>), and I too already shave naked.

I luckily married my best friend and so far we see eye to eye on most things.

My wife is pleased.

I shaved off my beard so she could see what my face looked like, with the understanding I would grow it back. Then I tried a straight razor, and my addiction started. She is happy that I'm not going to be able to muster the willpower to grow the beard back!

I don't have a wife, but I put "likes to watch". I find women do like to watch my drag a sharp knife across my face. It's also quite aphrodisiac.
