    Default Got my first straight.....and then GF recycles it.

    Hold on. Let me get the music started..... I recently won a Torrey last week on ebay. After over a week, finally got the razor earlier this week. Today, I ask the GF, "Babe, where is my razor?" She proceeds to ask me, "I don't know. Where did you put it?" I respond, "Back in the box." Then she replies, "WHAT!!! Why would you put it back in the box? I put the box and the papers in the recycling bin" She says that she went through all the papers and didn't notice the razor, so she assumed I had taken out and put it away. I don't know how she could've missed it, but it's gone. I can't find it anywhere, and I'm 99% sure I wrapped back in the paper and put it in the box. Women!!!

    Condolences my friend, that is a good looking razor.

    She probably will be gun shy about tossing boxes now.

    Torreys are nice razors.

    You should dump her.

    That is a BEAUTIFUL razor. She needs to buy you another one to make it up! By the way, where is your recycling center?
    There are many roads to sharp.

    I think it may have been better all round had you shown the sensitivity not to include photos. What a loss.

    Such a shame as it looked like a great razor.

    Oh man that is just Sooooooooooooooooooo Wrong on so many levels...

    I was just reading your other posts, am I correct that you still don't have a razor to shave with...??

    You have your Grandfather's, an heirloom razor that needs work, and now this beautiful one that goes bye bye????

    It is actually quite possible at this point that you have some power in this relationship. We guys seldom get on the upper end of the guilt game. The ladies are much shrewder than we are.

    You have only about 72 hours to turn her guilt and regret into something useful. You also have only one chance.

    Good luck!
