Long story short...the wife wanted a shower-proof shaving stick. I didn't want to surrender my La Toja, one of two sticks I have in a container. The other was vintage Williams, obviously off limits.
I did what any self respecting skinflint AD addled husband would do...I made a Williams stick out of a new puck and an Elmer's Glue stick container.
Fast forward to today.
She fires the first shot.
"Honey, what was in the package?"
I tense up.
"It's something from the shaving forum..."
"What now? Where did that money come from...?"
"Oh, y'know, wherever...It's a fancy shave stick from Germany, Irisch Moos."
"Is it for me?"
My eyes narrow. This is the woman I love, who I would die for, who bore my two sons. She has stood beside me through some tough times, kept our family together while I went to war.
"Uhh...Well, it's from a guy on the forum...you wouldn't like the scent, probably..."
"Look at you! You can't give it to me, can you?"
"Don't you like that stick I made you, darling?"
"It's not evan as good as that Yardley bath soap you gave me...I bet that German stuff is pretty good, and it's in a container, too!"
Damn, my own wife, a modern Williams detractor! I've got to think, and fast!
"Well, I've got to give it at least one try, it's from a fellow forum member, and..."
"OK, I'll take one of the others."
"No! Smeagol loves his preciousss shave stic....I mean, maybe I should order one just for you, honeybunch..."
"You are about six different kinds of pathetic sometimes, you know that?"
I need help.
Not with my SSAD, that's blossoming nicely, thank you very much, but what shave stick can I get her that's in a twist up container, nice and cheap, and has a female scent that will scare me off long enough for me to actually hand it to her?
