A classic move! It always works.

Thank you for the laugh! I always use the shoes, dresses, purses, jewelry, hairdresser and make up card if the SWMBO even lift the left eyebrow a tiny bit when I get Shaving stuff in the mail. If you do that the SWMBO will gladly pose with your latest Straight

Incidentally with the eyebrow still raised lol.

I said, "But dear, it's a japanese straight razor". I immediately tried to change the subject, which surprisingly worked. She's still not happy about it, but I'll get over it.

Thanks to SRD for a very nice and sharp Iwasaki Kamisori. As a matter of fact I shaved with it for the first time right before the "incident". Awesome shave.

Aha... that is the difficult part.
Work it into the budget..... she has a "stuff" budget and you have a "stuff' budget.

It sounds like you have made a serious dent in your stuff budget
and you have a deluxe Japanese razor in hand so enjoy it and
let your stuff budget recover.

Hmm, perhaps you are correct! As a revenge I need a 12000 grit stone..

Reminds me of "The shave den, again" thread. Glen bought a new microwave for hot towels and when his lovely wife complained he went into the closet and started counting pairs of shoes. Last I heard she loves the microwave

Im still hiding most of my razor stuff. I just rotate the stuff. The real question is how is my Accountant going to right all this stuff off. I make all my purchases through the company.

Same as a carpentry shop. Tools and supplies.

Too funny...Love the idea

Always remember:
It is easier to beg for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.

And if that doesn't work, throw up the number of shoes and pocketbooks that she owns in her face.
