Mick Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) Well, here's a cultural issue for you. Let me explain.... I have a goatee and, for many years, wore a full beard. The only time I shaved it off was at one point during the Black Hole, in protest of not getting our visa in a timely fashion. I suspect my posts about this are somewhere deep in the bowels of this here board. Anyway... I have a goatee and I hate shaving. Nothing worse than dragging sharp steel across your face when you are barely awake. To make a long story short, Li has made it be known that she thinks I use too many disposable razors and we could save a lot of money if I cleaned the one I use after every shave. Her most recent comment was: "You can use a razor for years....." I tried to explain that no matter how many times you clean it, it's gonna get dull after a fairly short length of time. No matter how clean a razor is, a dull razor is a dull razor. She doesn't seem to be able to get her mind around this concept. Bless her heart, she goes into the bathroom and, using a toothbrush, cleans my razors to a high shine. I love this woman so much. Still, I need to find a way to get her to understand that, after a week or so, even a clean razor feels like dragging sandpaper across my face. Don't laugh fellas....this, too, could happen to you. Maybe I need to grow my beard back. B) Edited May 25, 2006 by Mick (see edit history) Link to comment
Mick Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Listen to your sweet wife. She know so much more about than you ever will.218284[/snapback]Don, are you saying that Li has more experience shaving than I do? I don't think so..... Granted, she is great at saving money...no question. But a dull razor is not a man's best friend. How long do you use a disposable razor oh wise one? Link to comment

The only way you're going to win this is to shave with the razor until is it rips the skin from your face. Enjoy Link to comment

jemmyell Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Maybe you could get her to shave her legs with the same razor? To save even more money???? -James Link to comment
warpedbored Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Get an electric razor. You can use it over and over. Link to comment
Mick Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Maybe you could get her to shave her legs with the same razor? To save even more money???? -James218312[/snapback]A great idea! However, she doesn't shave her legs. Doesn't need to. That's pretty amazing actually. She does shave under her arms. Maybe I can let her use the dull razor there. Link to comment
Mick Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Get an electric razor. You can use it over and over.218317[/snapback]It may come to that. But if she doesn't want me to shell out a few bucks for a pack of bics, how's she gonna feel about the cost of an electric razor. Just had my birthday, so can't ask for one as a gift. Maybe this disposable can last til Christmas, ya think? Link to comment
Kaige Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I don't always have time to shave, as I am still getting up at 4 am, out of the house by 445 and not getting home till 600 at night, I cheat, let it grow for 4-5 days and use a hair trimmer, then I use ladys razors, as they give a better shave, I think these are tougher than a mans razor, as my dad always said you can take a new razor use it once and the wife uses it, it's junk Link to comment

frank1538 Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Maybe you could accidentally step on the razor and break the blade. Link to comment
Mick Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 OMG. I use a Gillette Turbo with 6 blades. The suckers cost $1.00 each. Nice, close, comfortable shave. But the expense even makes me pucker a bit.218335[/snapback]Oh well, use 'em while ya can good buddy. Then spend a couple of months practicing with a pottery shard. It'll get you ready for what's coming.... Link to comment
Jali Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 When I was in china, shaving with the water caused a nasty facial infection.. now my wife tells me she is going to shave me when we are together, to prevent me from "hurting myself" I have my doubts as to how that will turn out... but then again she didnt ask, she told, so what do I do?
