Trouble in Paradise

Earlier tonight I had to come to terms that I am suffering from AD. Let me explain. My secretary (wife) was doing bills on the computer and asked me, "What's this charge from SRD for?" ( I knew it was only going to be a matter of time before I heard about it) I kinda gave her a smile and said nothing. At this point she bellowed "This better not be any RAZOR STUFF!!.
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.

Heraclius,

I have found that there is no point trying to hide anything from SWMBO.

In a single, almost X-Ray like look at me, my wife can determine if I have bought any shaving related goods ! It is uncanny :)

Have fun !

Best regards

Ask Lynn if he'd be willing to set up a porn section in SRD. That way, when the bill comes and she asks about the SRD charges, you can reply "Oh, I don't know. Might be razors, might be porn." Then you can pull out the razor and she won't be so upset.

Utopian: Lol

A cople of days ago I babbled away infront of my wife (mistake no 1) about how happy I am for my Aristocrat (nice and shinny) and that rodhium is way more expensive than 24 carat gold (second mistake). She asked, with reptile speed, "how much was it". Nothing about how nice it looks or how happy I was. Women

What I want to know is why are guys afraid of their wives?Did you marry an equal or are you a naughty little boy being dressed down by your mom?:):):)

it's because she can see your happy, if she knows she hasn't done something to make you happy it must razor related. The key is to stay depressed all tge time they your razor collecting can really blossom.

well mine used to get upset with me about shaving stuff that i buy,and i have found out a way to calm her down about it. when she starts her stuff i tell her that i can spend a lot more and have a lot nicer shave stuff but i am trying to get by on the cheep. so she ask if i realy need 50 razors, 15 stones and 10 lbs. shave soap, 10 brushes, so i ask would you rather i grow the beard back? and the answer was what do you need now honey,

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;)

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 :nj

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. :)

hahaha .. You can do nothing hidden from the woman.
Mostly just be honest then you are often better off with it.
Congratulations on the beautiful razor
