    Default My wife and 25 years.

    In the past my wife has gotten me 45 ACP, 44.Mag. and an assortment of other Guy Toys even stuff for my old sail boat. For our 25th anniversary I opened a box and this is what I found inside. All I can say is she does so good on knowing what I want. This was the best one yet!

    I want to thank an unnamed member for helping her with the perfect gift.

    For your viewing pleasure may I introduce my newest razor. Der Wacker

    Congratulations on your anniversary and congrats for picking the right wife. I have that exact same razor and know you will love it. It takes and holds a great edge and is one of my best shavers.

    There is one side of the story that I should mention, that is her slightly mean side. I got the razor at 6:30 at night. Each day I shave until there is nothing left to shave. I had to look at it until the next morning until I had enough beard to shave. I was accused by her of burning my image it it before I even shaved with it. I must have made 10 trips upstairs just to gaze.

    She did offer to let me sleep with it on my night stand though. I woke and spent 45 minutes with Der Wacker.

    I've seen lesser things come between a man and his wife. If you've made 25, outside of the 30th it should last till one of you go to the big barber shop in the sky. Mine made 15 and you don't need the details of the wrong of it. Been over and done with it for 35 years now (I'm what you call a born again bachelor.)

    Great gift! Great wife! Enjoy both!! And rock on
