    Well, there is a way that has not been mention yet...I think. Forgive me if it has, I have not had a coffee yet.

    Here's what I did, and it worked like a charm: Start by talking endlessly about your new love for this hobby. Spend all of your time on the computer searching for new razor pages, on the SRD page, ebay, etc. Then continue to speak endlessly about the razors, the differences in steel and hones, and all that lovely stuff. After a week of inundation you'll here "Oh my god, just go in the bathroom and leave me alone....have your shave, just give me two minutes of peace."

    Enter the Man domain now.

    Stay in the man domain for a long period of time.

    Continue inundation with SWMBO. I'm now at the point where she is asking my about my razors, and thinks its "cute" that I have this "little" hobby.

    Good luck.

    Good idea - but one small problem.

    If you have ended up here at the SRP site, then you probably have several of these "little hobbies" - and she ain't buyin it no more

    Tell her "I love you too", then explain that a couple minor scars just enhances the manliness

    That "I love you too" comment has been my "get out of jail free" card for years.

    Since you don't want her mad, I'd suggest "I'm learning how to do this. Millions of men have shaved this way so obviously it's possible for me, unless you married an absolutely useless twit, so please just leave me alone to figure this out."
    This is the only real way .... a big +

    I'd encourage her to check out SRP and see for herself; gentlemen of all backgrounds who love this sport and aren't scarring the hell out of their faces

    It is just that women -those creatures with no logic- have their difficult and strange ways of saying simple things

    I know, her intentions are good. She actually still loves me. Go figure!

    Now this might work. I told her this weekend that I'm determined to not let a razor beat me, and I'll get good at this if it kills me. I also chased her out of the bathroom by telling her if she stands there and watch's me, I'll get nervous and really cut myself. She took it well and laughed and left. She's a great wife, and her only concern is for me. That's why I don't want to be mean. I think a couple more time of, I'm not giving up on this, should do it. Otherwise I'll have to use the tune her out suggestion, which I already do anyway. Thanks for all the help guy's.
