    Only if she was already proficient using one to shave her legs. Then I wouldn't have a problem.

    I'd let her. I don't think she would want to though. She'd be too scared.

    Start with your cheeks, going WTG? Plenty of barbers shaved others with no more incentive that a fee & a tip.

    The incentive part is exactly what I'd be worried about. :eek: :sick013:

    My perspective on "The Wife" has different levels. Married for 20 happy years, 30 total. Now divorced more than 5 years, she and I still have our now adult children & grandchildren in common. We have no friction, and I'd consider letting her give it (straight shave) a go.

    I'm positive my wife wouldn't want to. I think she would do fine if I showed her how to do it, but the risk of cutting me would be more than she would want to run.

    Good luck to you, though!

    I wouldn't let a trained Barber shave me (no one will ever know my face/grain like I do).

    Exactly.

    I just don't trust anyone around my neck, with a straight razor. Too many Italian Mafia movies. You know, "Italian Necktie".

    My wife doesent even like the fact that I shave myself with an SR; no way she'd go for it.

    I would for sure...HOWEVER I dont have a "proper" chair/way for her to do it, so that would probably be a condition I would have.

    My wife won't even come in the bathroom anymore when I'm using my straight razor ever since I sliced my chin.
