So my wife cleaned our bathroom today while I was at work. I had like 10 razors out on my side of the countertop (we have double sinks) on top of a microfiber towel along with my bowl, cream and a couple of brushes. And of course some extras like alum block & after shaves.
She moved all my stuff in order to clean everything and replaced the towel with a new clean one and organized everything exactly how I had it. When I got home, I thanked her for the way she always does that with the utmost care.
She told me: "While I was cleaning your side today, I realized that my husband has gone nuts!"
Now, I'm a person that has a couple of hobbies. I've also played music my whole life (I collect drums) besides the razors, so my wife is undoubtedly the most supportive person possible with every single idea that I've come up with. She basically feels that as long as it's something wholesome and it doesn't make us go broke, it's all good!
Of course her "nuts" reference was told in a loving and funny way where we were both laughing about it!
I intelligently seized the moment in order to introduce her to all my shaving gear and pointed out certain features & meanings behind this hobby that we love so much. i.e., Birth year razor, finishes, manufacturers, years etc..
I think it was wonderful because even though she looked genuinely puzzled, at least she could get a sense of how important this hobby has become for me. So I think it was a good thing even though it all might be perceived as a little nutty. The other good part is that now she wont ignore the growing number of razors anymore and wonder!
What's your story with your significant other on what they think about all of this?
