    Wink Help, I have a problem

    I am still waiting for my HD to come, but this past weekend I got a brush and some Nomad cream and ASB from C&E. I've been using it each morning to shave with my old razor, trying to learn how to lather and practicing.

    Anyway, here's the problem.

    My wife will not stop smelling my face!!! I came home from work and she started smelling my face at the dinner table. Now I'm trying to get some work done in my office and every 10 minutes she's coming in and smashing her nose against my cheeks.

    I can't get anything done and soon she's going to want to start cuddling every night! How do you calm a scent crazed woman?

    Try using waaay to much Pinaud Clubman one time. Putting too much of it on will surely knock her out (but I sure do love that stuff) . Worked on my wife.
    ps- Don't go by any open flames that day.

    Only 2 ways:


    1. You just have to wear her out. So when she so much as looks at you her back gets sore.

    2. Go to the local Wal-Mart and bathe in Brut. That stuff wouldn't work in prison.

    Show her the receipts from all of your shave-related purchases.

    Yep, that will go a long way to "cool" her affections. Works in my house.

    My wife said she preferred the Sienna.
    Actually, I am envious, and would take this opportunity to buy up as much as you can before this phase ends and you get into the "How much of that shave crap did you buy today" phase.

    Makes me consider one of my favorite quotes, I don't know who wrote it (I think I'll Google it here in a minute), but it's on a poster in one of my high school teacher's classroom -
    "You can complain that rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice that thorn bushes have roses."
    In fact, I'm about to make that my sig.
    Anyway, enjoy it - I know it's 'inconvenient' at times, but really, how often do we get to enjoy the same attention from our wives that we tend to dote on them?
    Besides, there might be ways to use it to your advantage , not that I would suggest such a thing!

    I'm somehow failing to recognize this as a 'problem'.

    Yea, guess its not really a problem, huh.

    Just a side affect of this change in grooming habits that nobody on this board warned me about.

    Anyway, full advantage will be taken of this new found power of mine, you can all rest assured. I even threatened her with buying brut if she doesn't behave.

    I knew that switching to wet shaving would make my face feel better, who knew it would make my marriage better too!

    thanks guys. special thanks to letterk, who's article on zenhabits lead me to here and lead me to this endeavour!

    Ok, so what is your problem? Out with it, man, out with it!

    Today I have Sierra on and my wife said how good I smell. I gotta try some Nomad.
