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

Same here, my gf likes the fact that I do restorations on razors and strops, but she doesn't understand why I have more than 100 straight razors in my collection.
You can only shave with one she said...
When I talk about a new hone or straight she gives me the rolling eyes. Then again, you learn to live with it.
As long as there is no fighting because of it, I'm happy.

In case you fellas haven't realized it yet women in general are not into collecting and see no value in collecting anything. Of course there are exceptions and of course if a woman has 20 pairs of shoes or an infinite number of fashion accessories they don't see it as collecting.

Perhaps we should speak their language. I don't "collect", I "shop". My shopping has the same effect as her shopping. Face bling vs neck/foot bling. Bling is bling baby!

Understanding their language/meaning is easy - they're always right, we're always wrong.

Women are like the Borg - Resistance is Futile!

As I sit here in bed reading this thread out loud to my wife she tells me that you all should tell your wives that this shaving experience is akin to a wonderful mani/pedi at the spa and sometimes you have to treat yourself. (her words not mine) She says to repeat these words to your wife to give her some perspective on the finer art of shaving. Lol.....can't hurt....

I took the evil route...I came across a beautiful vintage antique necklace, made of authentic Pearls, came in the case and everything for $61.00 from an eBay estate sale!

She loved it....then I showed her antique jewelry on eBay, she's hooked now and is amazed, has purchased three Victorian rings and a bracelet so far, she doesn't have much to say about my razors anymore....but she loves talking about great antique's now, whether in the form of razors of jewelry....bwahahahahaha!

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.
