Caught in the act!

Well, I walked into the bathroom just now and looked over to see my wife shaving her legs...with my Thistle Cut straight razor. She looked a little sheepish. "Did you strop the razor?" I asked. "No" she replied. I took the razor and stropped it for her, then showed her a good angle and warned her against too much pressure. She went to town! Like a fish takes to water she took to the straight! I guess the 9 years shes been watching me shave has paid off for her! Learning via osmosis!
I have to go now and make sure she dries the blade properly!

I think we need photos! :rofl2:

That's great Mark. Next thing you know I'll be sending my razors to her to hone.

I wish my wife would give it a shot, or let me teach her. I can't see her doing it often, but I bet she'd like the experience.

The way she shaves with her safety razor I can see why the thought of using a straight might seem dangerous to her. They don't call 'em safety razors for nothing. You'd have to seriously try to cut yourself with one of them Daisy's.

this thread is useless without pics but you're excused :rofl2:

Now make sure she does not try to shave the arm pits with a str8 :D

Damn boys! You really should take a peek in Ladies corner sometime. Leg shave threads with pics. I know because I took & posted some of them. Since my SWMBO is now ripening up nicely for Squid's arrival in May, I 'm back on permanent blade wielding duties.

Mark, she may not have stropped, but at least she did not strop your blade &roll it on it's edge:gaah::eek:

Awesome job! My wife won't touch my razor for fear of amputating a leg.

Mark, the only thing better would be to shave her yourself. It has quite an effect on the ladies just ask Spike!!!

I have been after my wife to try I think she is about to give. I will keep my fingers crossed. I do like how your first question was "did you strop it" nicely done!!

Her legs are far too long and shapely for me to attempt shaving her legs.:w:D

..........Pity.

Damn women! Can't leave anything lying around......:rant:;)

Pass on my congrats Mark. You now have the dilema of encouraging her to sign up here, or not!:D

And in my defence (going to pull the Preggo clause here), I rolled Spike's razor ONCE recently, but only because I haven't been able to use my straight for months and had forgotten which direction to strop in.:o:o:o:gth

Shes at it again! My 5/8's W & B wedge. I taught her a little about stropping and a toe leading pass!

maybe one day i can talk my wife into it but no luck so far

btw your'e a "rabbit bodyguard" jms ?? :rofl2::roflmao

This is well done indeed, Mark. :tu

As I type my wife is using my Robert Klaas Made in Prussia straight. She brought it to me and asked, "May I use this one? It has birdies on it.":gaah: Oh well.
I walked her through the stropping process and then she proceeded to make a very thin lather. "Give me that" I said, and then showed her how to make a nice lather that can rival any uber lather that "The Glen" makes ;).

I think she is hooked!

I never thought the day would come, but I guess for this fine work you, Mark Avery, actually deserve ...

... A GOLD STAR !

Well done, man.

That's really cool - I guess if you're around something long enough, and you know the results are good, it's only a matter of time!
