    Default Glory be the SWMBO finally gets it

    Didn't shave this morning and was just diddling around all day. Supposed to go to dinner with some friends later this evening. Took a shower and was just waiting for her to start getting ready. She came into the den and asked if I was ready and I said sure... she walked up and looked at me and said "aren't you going to shave, you look like a BUM. I've gotten used to a nice neat look on your neck and cheeks, and the smell of that soap you've been using" I could have fallen out of the chair. Ran out of the room and went though a full 3 pass with a good prep and all the steps. I'm sitting here waiting for her now, BUT I still don't believe it. The woman who mocks me to everyone finally bought in. Is it too much to dream for soaps for Xmas. TABAC I love you

    Congratulations, Yes you should expect soaps for Christmas.

    I'm on the opposite side, SWMBO likes scruff and wiskers.

    Do you really believe the mocking is going to stop?

    My SWMBO gets it. Has always got it. Benifits from it. She is shaved by me. Loves TABAC. Loves the soaps. Loves the feeling of my face.

    Hates B&B. Hates my AD. Hates my empty wallet.

    LOVES LOVES LOVES TO MOCK ME AND MY BROTHERS.

    But it's Ok as I LOVE LOVE LOVE her.

    She loves us all really.

    Isn't that an *awesome* feeling? Getting all sorts of positive reinforcement this way as well!

    After 21 years of marriage I can tell you that the mocking doesn't stop. In a bad marriage, the mocking is a sign of disgust. In a good marriage it is a sign of love. My wife and I have been "mocking" each other all through our marriage. I don't see it changing for the next twenty or thirty years.

    Has been 25 years here. The Mocking will not stop, but after Tabactober the puck is looking pretty sad.... Hoping for a new one for Xmas... Gentlemens Best next.... Just great to know that she gets it somewhat.

    This becomes very philisophical in nature, could Tabac make a lather so slick that the atoms within it could not hold together?

    Must be nice. Mine wants me to keep and maintain a goatee even though my job doesn't allow it. Keeping my job is more important than making the SWMBO happy, even though she can't see that at all. Female arguments need less emotion getting in the way of logic.

    Tried some Elixir Blue C.O. Bigelow aftershave after a Tabac shave, and the girl couldnt get enough. The two scents do kind of complement one another. If you have both I suggest this combo.
    If you find yourself in a fair fight your tactics are questionable.
