Thread: My girlfriend is sick of me bangin on about razors

My wife just ignores me when I talk about razors, chisels, hand planes, or carving knives. To balance it out I just ignore her when she mentions that I should vacuum, dust, or mop the floor.
I like the "pedi at the spa" line. I may have to use it that in future.

I learned a long, long, long very long time ago that if I ignore those "requests" then I get ignored in other aspects of our relationship that I would rather not be ignored in.

I think after a year odd and the average of 1 package a week in the mail, the bride has finally either come around or just given up with asking if it is another blade,
so it is good when a stone or something else comes so I can just say no its not a blade.
the usual 3-4 week delay for mail to Aus helps as sometimes I am even surprised by what shows up first LOL
now she knows the routine & I just tell her I'm going down stairs to feed the dogs, grab whatever may be on the bench & disappear for half an hour or three,
as long as don’t make any noise & wake up the boys no one misses me LOL
since most of what I do is all hand sanding etc there’s no real not loud noise, so it’s only when I forget & get keen & start drilling or peening pins after about 8:30 I get the visitor from upstairs to remind me of the time
this might be why I like honing too, no noise and a never ending learning curve.

now she's yabbering something about selling them when they are all cleaned up as I have sooo many,
So I just remind her that not all of them are completed & shave ready,
and I can’t sell any yet as I still need to try every type & brand I can for a decent duration in order to find out what I really like best,
so I can narrow it down & set the criteria for my final rotation even if it is a 52 week LOL

Words of wisdom. I have them memorized!

Yep she's a keeper with an attitude like that Txshooter38
Don't lose her

Wait a second! You know a woman who has only 20 pairs of shoes? Is she homeless, indigent, or is she in prison? If not, do you happen to know whether she is attractive, married, interested in meeting someone, perhaps a straight shaver? My wife has over a hundred pairs of shoes and boxes from Zappo's arrive daily. I asked her the other night how many pairs of shoes were in that big pile in the closet. Of course she didn't know or wouldn't say, but all I could think of was "How much is that in razors?"

Before i had RAD, I had a similar conversation with my first wife about guns..."why do you need more than one, aren't they all the same?"

She's history, may she Rest in Peace.....

Just kidding...no violence

Just traded her in...not that I'm suggesting that

I hear echos. I have come to the conclusion that there is only one woman that is the queen of the hive, all the rest are drones that channel the queens thoughts.

I don't believe I could afford to send my wife to the spa everyday (probably because of my shaving habit)

*This* *is* *a* *very* *amusing* *thread*.

Keep it coming, gents.
