    Ok it sounds strange to me too but does anyone else hide razors from spouse? Here's what I've been doing. She knows I have two razors a superspeed and a merkur 23c. When I make a new razor purchase I have to buy ones that look like those. My "new" problem is I want to try a new and cant because they are generally brass. So am I crazy or what?

    Why hide'em in the first place?

    It's your money, your call. She should just mind her own business. It's not like you're fretting when she's buying new shoes for her own overtime at work. I assume :)

    she is your wife, your help mate, she has your best interest at heart.
    for some reason she feels like you should not be making these purchases. she wants you to be happy, or should. if something as small as a razor makes you happy, why wouldn't she be for it. unless she sees other issues, none of my business, that alarms her.
    trust her, communicate your desires.
    not good advice to hide things from her, ever.
    she's your partner

    My wife shakes her head and smiles whenever a new piece of gear shows up. I am crazy and she knows it. She has her quirks as well. That being said, hiding a behavior indicates a degree of wrongdoing on your part. Be loud Be Proud

    I really don't think you should be hiding things like this. If this is within your budget, and she has her own indulgences, then I agree that you are entitled to yours. But if this is straining the budget, you really need to rethink it & discuss this with her.

    I didn't hide mine, but the RAD & SAD hit me hard. I've stopped buying now and use what I have. I am awaiting the RR Stealth and Stirling releases.

    If you feel it is an issue perhaps you need to calm down. I realized I have bought a ton stuff and have slowed down myself. Talking to her would be a good idea.

    Having been guilty of hiding things from my spouse (and she from me) in our past, let me tell you that this form of falsehood is just as disingenuous as telling lies. It's merely the passive/aggressive version of lying face-to-face. This isn't something I recommend between spouses if one wishes to maintain healthy open communication. This type of behavior soon becomes habit, and begins to carry over into other areas of the relationship. I have seen it before with many couples.

    So, to sum up, we really don't think you are crazy, but a number of us think that your actions are ill-advised.

    I agree with David and Kevin. Don't hide things. The easiest solution is to make sure you each have some discretionary budget every month to use however you want.

    Some people just don't understand about shaving! :happy102: As far as hiding your purchases all I can say is you should "do want you want in life" That said, like I tell my kid, you know what's right and what's wrong, so when the hammer comes down and you get caught, just take your butt whipping like a man and don't cry about i:happy088:

    Here's what I do. Now it works for ME. When I bought MdC I made sure I bought her a little something that I knew she'd like.
    Also, my wife is involed in this little hobby, she kinda knows which is which. So when our Anniversary was near she knew what razor to get me. Be open, don't hide anything. Budget for your gear. In the end. Be honest with your wife, tell her you'd like a New.

    ps
    Do you know her shoe size? What hand bag she wants? ;)
