Thread: Should I let my wife use my straight?

As far as letting her use one on her legs, I can't even get her to switch to a DE.

Pretty sure eh? With women I would not bet on that. A lot of gals wouldn't ask. They would just take it and use it and a few days later you'd be starting a post asking how your razor got all chewed up just sitting in the box.

Too true! Do you guys remember maybe 4 or 5 months ago a member posted a thread about his edge being all dinged up? He asked his wife if she knew what happened to his razor and her response was nope. Then a few days later she fessed up about using his straight razor to cut open zip ties on some box or package. Your wife maybe one of your best friends in life but that does not mean you'll ever know what thoughts are running through her head. Be glad she asked first.

Now I'm actually scared that she may decide to use one for something like that.

I have one or two of the 'cheaper' (like 3 or 4 bucks) foreign razors on hand for just such an occasion.
