    HenrickWL,

    Really, the only way to avoid this type of thing in the future is for you to completely ban your wife from ever cleaning the bathroom again, and doing it yourself from now on.

    I had a very similar experience with my wife, and this is what I did. In fact, she also used a scratchy cloth on the piano in the living room, so now I clean that room myself too.

    And then, she unplugged my computer one day cleaning in the study. Same solution - I now clean the study too.

    And just the other day, in the kitchen, she ...... hang on ..... ....

    James.

    I hope you can bring your razor "back to life".

    My wife never did anything with my razors, nor I haven't told her anything about them. She just knows they're sharp and because she's scared to death to cut herself with anything (she faints at the sight of blood) she leaves them alone.

    Disaster is called off, guys. I managed to save it with the pasted leather.

    After several laps, I finally got it back to passing the HHT, the way it did when I first got it. Tried a shave, and it went smooth as rain. A bit rough on the ATG pass, but that's due to my shoddy technique.

    GAWD ALMIGHTY!! You guys crack me up. What a great thread. JMS, The MDT(missing digit test), not that I'm tempted to try this method, but out of curiosity, how often do you use it?

    I've got one for you.

    When my parents were first dating, my mother wanted to suprise my dad by freshly ironing all his clothes. She tried to iron a couple of his 100% polyester leisure suits, and the iron melted right through two pairs instantly.

    Unfortunately I remember those things, my mom used to buy polyester slacks for me to wear, felt like an oil slick on your body, if you ask me, she did him a favor!
