    I almost cut myself the first time I used a straight.

    Listen to nun2sharp and Silver; let her get used to the pressure and angles and feel of a straight on herself first, and then let her try again if you're up for it.

    Your first time using a straight should never be on someone else.

    She almost cut me. Don't know if she was doing it on purpose! But heck, never let you wife touch your blade!!!!!!!!!!!
    You should be glad she doesn't want to hone your Zowada!

    On second thoughts...think of the hours, days and months of peace and quiet.

    My opinion is to never shave anyone else with anything and never let anyone shave you except yourself. I think it takes as specific set of skills in order to do this right without killing the other person. Skills that I think are better left to the barbers.

    If she almost cut you then I have to say she wasn't trying too hard to filet and release.

    It took my wife a while but she finally ditched the plastic crap and drafted an old GI issue 1940's Gillette Tech 3 piece. Don't know that I'd ever let her use the straight on me. I have however shaved my daughter's legs with a straight (at her request) and I can confirm that shaving someone else is really, really weird (even if you know what you're doing). Remember the straight razor scene from The Color Purple? Pretty ballsy move by Danny Glover's character. Pimp slaps his wife (resulting in a bloody nose) rants about her being ugly, stupid and useless, then requests a straight razor shave from her. I'm pretty sure if I ever pulled such a stunt, my bride would be all to happy to give me a Filipino Haircut (ear to ear!) with my shave.
    The older I get, the better I was

    I would never let anyone put a straight to my face unless it was a professional barber (which I'll probably never do either, cheaper to do it myself). I am trying to get my wife interested in shaving her own legs using a nice mug of cream and a brush. We'll see...
    There are many roads to sharp.

    My gf won't let me shave her legs, even though she is the one who really pushed to get me to use straights.

    I'll take the suggestion from you guys to have my wife practice with the straight on her legs. Then maybe a couple weeks later, I'll let her try my face again
