Split the house and businesses. Kept the sports car, airplane, shaving gear and got rid of her.

I say keep on ordering and trying new stuff...best thing to do, ship it to work! The tell SWMBO that a vendor keeps bringing in gifts!

My fiancée has made mention of my glut of shaving equipment on several occasions, and also on my habit of storing tallow soap on a whole shelf in the fridge... But at least our addictions aren't hazardous to our health

Wor Lass is at the stage of rolling her eyes now. I win

My accountant, sorry...my girlfriend is perplexed by my purchasing disorders! When I refurbish a straight razor, her first statement is always "is that one going back on ebay". Er...no.
