Some humor

[Ophidian]

The GF and I went to CVS last night, and she wanted a thing of water. I offered to help, but she said, "No, you go ahead and look at your shaving stuff, I got this". She's beginning to realize that this "hobby" is a big part of my life now. I found some humor in the fact that she knows me that well.

Congrats. Mine still rolls her eyes and says "you're obsessed".

My wife finds it amusing. She makes a big show of inspecting my face after shaves and always comments when she sees me reading, "your Badger and Blade."

 

[Never2Late]

No matter how deep into razors and B&B I may get, I have SWMBO's ridiculous Farmville habit if I ever need to counter. She knows this... so, after more than a few years together, we've developed an understanding based on mutually assured destruction.

Detente, comrades, is not all that bad.

My wife is in this camp.

My lovely wife makes a big deal of telling friends and family that i take so long in the bathroom at night shaving. She proceedes to make them aware that i use soap and a brush and i have a special drawer full of blades and soaps, and that i clean my razor after each use. She says this in a poking fun way but i know she appreciates me taking a little time to refresh myself.I think she likes it ...shhhh

My wife figures it's a better midlife crisis than cars and younger women, and a better habit than excessive boozing or recreational chemical addiction, although she puts Lilac Vegetal in that last category.

Lifelong bachelorhood is its own punishment, I'll own. But it's not without its rewards! Never any of this --->

Six axes and the blade count grows apace ...

Well, Top, see it from her point of view. It's a real hassle to have HazMat show up at all hours whenever you put on the Veg.

(Still in high school) My siblings thing it's one of my hobby phases again--first it was online games, then pc building, now this. I may after all just have an AD and this is easier to fill.

My dad is indifferent and my mom only hates the fact that I keep spending money.

My wife has picked up a display for my razors, RAD ended for me and she tells me I need some more to fill up the display. To compliment it sheasked me about vintage Gillette ads and I told her the barbasol ones were the sexy ones and she said "ok, let's find some and frame them"

I wonder if you're our youngest member.

I wonder if you're our youngest member.

More likely, just the most outspoken. I joined the forums in high school, but only really started posting a few months ago. There's more of us here than y'all think

I still hide my obsession from my fiancé pretty well. I really hope she never looks in the two dop kits under the sink though.

 

[taffy]

My wife just does not get it at all!

I wish I knew because I wouldn't take so many posts with a grain of salt, assuming the taste different as a result of the age gap and feeling like having to form a style of my own.

And "y'all"? From a Bostonian?! I'm in Texas now and use y'all all too often and when we visit Boston (That's where I was born), me and my siblings are too often ridiculed for using "y'all"

My girlfriend bought me some MWF after I talked nonstop about it for a week or so. Quite a nice surprise. Although I doubt that she will be so supportive when I start spending lots and lots more money on shaving stuff. I recently was thinking of getting another straight, and she said "What? Why do you need another one?" She find this obsession cute...for now...

Small world: my dad's side of the family lives in Texas...which also helps explain the "y'all."

My wife went to the mall today and came back with a tube of CO Bigelow...didn't even have to ask for it. She does put her foot down with the scents though...she had a big objection to Aqua Vela and Old Spice.
