    That's a fantastic idea, wish I would have thought of that. Just the other day, SWMBO questioned me about a few new razor acquisitions, so I compared what I spent on a few razors vs. what she recently spent on clothes ($150 to her $380)....chirp chirp chirp...her silence was my victory!

    Default The three prices you pay

    There is the price you pay. There is the price you tell your wife you paid. Then there is the price you pay when she finds out what you really paid.

    So good to find so many suffering the same afflictions and circumstances! My particular SWMBO is into scrap booking; paper, digital and otherwise. The reality is that I haven't found a hobby to match pace with hers yet! And you can bet I keep my mouth shut about it too....

    HAHAHAHA...a stash spot for razors. I remember when a "stash" meant something completely different.

    I only have one razor so far but my husband forbade me to buy one at all so I guess I'm off to a good start in the "Razor? What razor?" department. I guess I'll need to find my own stash spot now. At least my husband will laugh when he sees it's just razors instead of something really illegal.

    You guys have it easy. My wife has RAD. I know you guys think that is great, but now I have to convince her that we have to eat as well.

    Do any of you believe me?
    She does have RAD, but I enjoy every last second of the insanity. Heck it means one more custom, just picked up a pair of Brummels, a new Torrey, a Champion, a Helje, an Engstrom, a W&B, a spike and only one of those is going to another home (so far). I have finally gotten to a point where this hobby pays for itself. I'm not making bank on it, but between brush sales and restored razors I can usually afford one or two here and there. The problem comes when I need to refill the paypal account.

    Hey maybe you could sell her on that point.

    Yeah, I just pulled a spread from e-bay along with an amazon purchase AND some new tools for razor restorations. All of this was precipitated by the discovery of a rebate check from a Christmas gift (the gift was for me, ergo the rebate was also for me). However, I well exceeded the amount on the rebate check. The tools were justified as useful for far more than just razor stuff (true...mothers day gift has already been crafted thanks to these); the amazon purchase was so that I could get free shipping on an order for work (though I had to get one more soap b/c it came with a travel case and I'll be on the road in a couple weeks); the ebay purchases were "watch list" items I couldn't resist after finding out I had money to play with and could therefore allow myself to look at razors online.

    The counter to my expenditures she's gotten lots of fabric for crafts around the house (curtains, easter clothes, etc.) and she's getting new clothes now as all her maternity clothes no longer fit (PTL) and she needed some new clothes before she got pregnant.

    Still, I'm trying to think if there's a good place I could secret my razor purchases away in an underground railroad type fashion! That which hits the fan may yet strike here!

    Peace,

    Tell your wife to pipe down about the number of razors in your razor roll or you will order a "wife roll" and start collecting!
