Thread: my wife is gonna kill me!

No complaints from her. And better if never. Being I paid off the mortgage on the house 80,000, her last 3 cars, the boat, all credit cards. Hospital bills, ect. I'm debt free. And broke cause she's not working. I'm on unemployment for two more weeks.

Congrats on being debt free!!!!!

my wife is ok with it , lots cheaper than my Harley collection tc

a our friend one time ask me:
"Are you merried?" i said NO...i think in the next few years...
he said
" Lucky man!!!! buy buy buy !!! buy everything you can, razors,soaps, brushes in a free way"
when i ask Why he answear:
"because if you merry, it is not possible buy something as a normal person...you have to buy secretly and hide all and be afraid for your treasure!!!"

That's very true and sound advice your friend gave you. But she doesn't mind,( for now) before long it all will be, how many razors do you need, you only can use one at a time, and what are going to do with all this damn soap, l don't have any room for my stuff yada yada yada. So I still have time to come up with some toro poo poo to tell her beforehand

That's why I like 4 wheels. Crash and burn

I've been a str8 shaver since 1988 at the age of 17 I'm now 47. Started with a old ugly rusted and pitted Torrey razor that cleaned up enough that I could use. A combo stone of unknown grit and a old leather belt that I grew out of. Somehow I managed to shave with this, believe or not, up till January of this year2015. In December of 2014 I wanted to buy a new shiny razor. So I found this place called Imperial shave in Medina Ohio just a half hr. Drive from home. Met Don and his son. Bought a Dovo best quality, srd latigo strop and srd soap and a 8000 Nani. with holder. Shaving is a whole new ballgame. I wanted to pump Don for info but it was quite busy. He said to check this site that anything I wanted to know was here. He was right. Now I'm in too deep. With all the info you guys have given to me I've now restored my Torrey, made new scales from teak. And now running around to antique stores buying str8s and building a collection. Found 3 my first try in pretty good condition no sanding,grinding. Just wash and a rub with flitz. Almost like new. And shave better than the Dovo (back to the hone). The 3 razors are a Oxford, Tuckmar and clauss which I only paid $35 bucks for all. What a find,they are beautiful, and shaved with the Clauss this morning. Best shaver yet. So with this thank you all. Yeah my wife is gonna kill me if she finds my collection/ hobby is now growing. But I need more,more and more.

Know what you mean. My wife would have already killed me but I keep my razors in the gun safe and she can't remember the combination. and i'm not telling
