She doesn't understand

**lamontqsanford** · 09-10-2008, 12:56 PM

How many members wives think they are nuts for having, for lack of a better word, an "addiction" to wet shaving? My wife just shakes her head every time the mail arrives and I have something new to admire. I assume that I am not the only one.

What is the current married membership X .95? I'm assuming 5% of the spouses have given up.

She's not supposed to understand. This is our thing.

First it was punk rock, then it was kilts, then it was pipe smoking, now wet shaving... My wife is used to my addictions, and as long as the bills get paid, she tolerates them.

Kilts huh?

My gf is starting to come around, she comments on how good things smell after I shave. I am hoping to make a convert soon. If not, well how many bottles of $85 perfume are lining the drawers?

She should thank her lucky stars that this is your obsession. In terms of hellraising, it ranks right up there with joining an astronomy club.

**burnwood** · 09-10-2008, 01:46 PM

well she thinks I am nuts even without it but she thinks I am a girl with all my ADs.

LMAO - are you trailing me outside B&B?

<hides the astro-scope>

OP is right though - SWMBO doesn't 'get it' at all - after nearly 10 years of me putting off shaving for days on end because I hated it so much, now I'm shaving twice a day sometimes

and always interesting (to me) stuff landing on the mat.

I've already converted my sister, and my girlfriend has a Blue Star in the mail and is excitedly awaiting it's arrival.

Female Wet Shaving Comprehension starts with 4 simple words:

QED Chocolate Shave Stick.

How many GF's and/or wives use DE's to shave with. I mentioned it to my wife so that she could see what all of the fuss was about. She just laughed at me

Mine still rolls her eyes but has become more tolerant as she now has a lady gillette and plenty of soaps and creams to try. She has also requested that I shave at night so she can better enjoy the scents.

And she kind of likes my kilt. I've got one in my family plaid so she can't really make fun of me. That's everyone elses job

Welcome to my world!!! This wet shaving experience is my latest "mania of the month". Small price to pay, at least I'm allowed to shave inside the house. The same cannot be said for my pipe smoking "mania".

She doesn't ask about my shaving stuff, I don't ask about her shoes...

(Plus she is awaiting her Pink Star in the mail this week... I get to take back the Blue Star that she has been using.)

**netsurfr** · 09-10-2008, 02:54 PM

I have to give my wife credit. She has been way more understanding than I might have been if she had a hobby that consumed as much money as I have put into my shaving stuff. But then she has been very understanding about all of my obsessive compulsive quirks over the last thirty years.

**Abdiel** · 09-10-2008, 02:55 PM

She may not understand, but every time I shave she brightens up, I get the sweetest little "You shaved!", and a kiss.

So hey works for me.

**Masterofsparks** · 09-10-2008, 03:44 PM

It's funny I put up my shaving rack (a very old wall mounted smoking pipe rack I got from Ebay) It proudly displays six of my razors on the rack and my three mugs and soaps on the top shelf; my wife exclaimed that she didn't understand why I need more than one razor and one soap! I tried to explain to her that my Merkur HD gives a more agressive shave than the SS and that my Gillette D-1 Toggle was only made for one year and and and.....you know!

Well she rolled her eyes and just said whatever...I then reminded her that her Sheshiedo makeup cost like $80 a pop.....and a cut and color for her hair is $200.....well I think I am in the clear for a while! Unless until the next package arrives!!

**Lefty** · 09-10-2008, 04:00 PM

Well, its either this or illegal drugs...and wetshaving is cheaper, smells better, and well, its legal.

**Johnny Dale** · 09-10-2008, 04:04 PM

The better half actually is happy that i take better care of myself and my appearance anymore. She did try the Blue Star but cut herself up. I tried to give her some tips but I might as well be mute.
