    Default What to tell the wife.

    Well I've been bitten by the bug. I only have one shave ready razor, but I have more to be honed. I've shaved about 4 or 5 times with the straight. The only time I have enough time for a relaxing time consuming shave is on Sunday. I think I'm getting better at it. The last shave I was really proud of myself. Only one or two little nicks and a bunch of irritation on my neck in a spot I went over about ten times because I just can't seem to get that spot smooth. It's just the direction the hair grows there, I just can't seem to get it smooth there. But I didn't know about the irritation until my wife told me.Well to the point,When I went out in the sun the wife could see the irritation and nicks and again started carrying on about your going to cut your neck. Why are you doing this to yourself. Your going to get scars. And so on. I try and be nice, And I let her know that I hope I'm not going to here it every time I shave. But I been challenged now by the razor. And I'm going to get to where I can shave with a straight with no nicks. So what to tell the wife so she leaves me alone when I shave. I mean with out her being mad at me about it. I enjoy shaving with the straight razor and I'm determined to get good at it.

    Until I got to the "without her being mad at me" part of the query, I was going to suggest two loving words...

    "shut up!"

    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."

    Easy - honey, I was having a midlife crisis and needed a new hobby. Straight razors seemed less complicated than a girlfriend.
