    It's not a lie, until she finds out the truth.

Tell her you will be making $20.00 a razor & think of all the things she can buy with just a few razors honed.



    ,,,,,if she doubts your sincerity,,,have her look at my innocent avatar,,,,that should seal it.

    Yeah that will work. That's what I tell myself. Long term investment, sure to go up. And so far it's the only thing I see that's not a lie. Gawd I'm glad this is figured out.

    And if you tell her your going to cut down on your nudybar bill by 50% a week she will forget all about the razors.

    I had a similar situation but I am open and regretted teller her. But I did and a bit of a tiff was worth the truth. And the next time a hone showed up on Ebay for an absurdly low number I called her and discussed my purchasing the hone. Now I got a razor and a hone. I'm always under the impression that a bit of honesty goes a long way.

    Maybe not a lie, but more like cheated her out of a little savings...on the other hand, If you don't cheat, you're only cheating yourself!....justification enough for me to pick a few more up...try that and let me know how it works out!
