You have found an accepting woman my friend, I'm going to forward this post to my wife! My wife is cool about it too.

reading this thread is like reading chuck norris jokes. Did you know Chuck Norris hones his razors with his beard.

I am pretty sure she by now understands that Bevel setting is really the most imortant part of honing too

Does buying a 55lbs. anvil because you couldn't finds the small one at HB count?

I actually did that to do my first scale job... and regretted not buying a set of peen ball hammers.

When even after spending 200+ bucks on shaving gear and you're looking at buying a 200+buck razor you still justify it to your self by saying "I'm doing it cause I save $30 a month on disposables!"

3. ...you have to remind yourself in social settings that everyone doesn't want to hear about straight razors

Accidentally did that in a job interview last Friday. Out of the 30 minute interview 13 minutes were used to talk about shaving with a straight, 10 about bass fishing (in upstate NY even though I live in Idaho and the job is in WA), 3 minutes about duck hunting (in WA) and then finally 4 minutes about what I would be responsible for if I got the job. Jeez....

Anybody else looking to hire a "soon to graduate" Mechanical/Welding Engineer?

You know you are obsessed when you make sure to reuse the box Glen returned your razor(s) in to send him more razors so you can reuse the box Glen sent your razors(s) into send him more razors so you can............................................... ................
