Electric Razors vs women

[Guest]

We live in a small apartment. We chose it that way and we prefer not to buy extra stuff we don't need.

So, the warrior has this eletric razor that he uses, and it has also a small trim function which he does not need.

I'd not use his razor on my bits, but I was given "leave" to use the trim. Thing is, everytime he sees it, he goes, "That is my razor."

I inevitably feel bad and ask, "Should I get myself a trimmer""

To which he promptly answers, "Of course not! We already have one."

So, what do you say?

Go buy a razor - they make them now specially designed for tricky angles... I have one that's specially designed for giving yourself fades.

Or go the old school route, those Four and Five blade razors do leave a much smoother finish than any electric - they just don't vibrate if that's a problem...

Granted, we as men see things through very confusing eyes. He may see the razor as "his" even though he has "given leave" for you to use the trimmer. If they are one and the same item, just different sides it blurs that territorial instinct we men tend to stumble over.

The feminine side of my head (which sometimes is the more wicked of the two) says to wear a robe, only a robe and leave it untied. Then strike a pose and say "Lover, its your razor, but I need a trim. want to help me out?" and make the grooming ritual part of foreplay as well.

The masculine side says buy the smallest least complicated trimmer you can find and keep the two separate.

Get your own. Or at least get hubby to make up his bleeding mind.

That is always an issue

Smack him upside the head whenever he says that

If I had a gf, I'd want my stuff near her bits, right?

Guys will sometimes say that are alright with something, just because to say they aren't makes them sound petty and/or jealous. So perhaps logically they are really alright with the idea, but instinctually they are against the idea. The classic example is a girlfriend/wife having male friends. The not so classic example, but still common is using his stuff.

So, you can keep using the trimmer on his razor and ignore the visceral emotional response he has, recognizing that his intellect is in charge not his instincts.

Or, you can ask him if he was just giving you leave because it's the right thing to do, and that you can stop if it actually does bother him.

Or you can go ahead and get a new trimmer.

Of course, you could just let the hair grow out and if he complains then say it was his fault for making you feel guilty for using his razor.

I think you should get your own. Not for any grossness reasons, but because it's a personal item, and you need one of your own. Maybe I'm just funny about that stuff. Not sure.

I got a relatively inexpensive trimmer that came with a few attachments, and it works adequately. It's small enough to fit in a makeup bag.

Even if you're going to shave with a regular razor, you probably need to trim first. Seems like getting your own would save you some confusion/weird feelings.

Say; "That's right, honey, it sure is your razor!"

And smile encouragingly.

 

[cheerful_deviant]

Go buy another one and throw his away. Then when he asks where his is, tell him that you got a better one. And you don't need two, it will be ok if he uses yours.

I like CDs suggestion! But on a slightly more serious note (no offense CD!), the suggestion above to turn this chore into foreplay is nice, but if you find this task to be something best done solo, getting a cheap, straightforward one that works well for your needs would probably be the best bet.

YOU WIN!!!

Yep, that was a good one

Not that I've ever done anything like that before... *ahem*

 

[Weird Harold]

Get your own. Not because you feel guilty about using his or because it's gross, but because inevitably you're going to run into a situation where you're both running late and both need the razor at the same time.

For trimming and shaping, you can get a small (aa) battery powered trimmer that is about the size of a Sharpie(tm) marker or tube of lipstick. or you can get an inexpensive trimmer that takes up about the same amount of space as a Snickers or Three Musketeers candy bar.

Give him one less oppportunity for being a passive-aggressive so-and-so, and get your own.

Buy a damn razor. That's ridiculous. That's like the four year old sharing syndrome.

 

[xssve]

Been seeing ads for a new Quattro, which is gillette I think, that has an electric trimmer on the other end, pretty cool.

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

Go buy a straight razor and a can of Foamy. Then offer to shave his "bits" and see what he says.

I know they're a ridiculous amount of money, but unless you want to walk around looking like a yeti, go buy one. He's not going to stop guilt trippin' you.

He'd go through a wax job if it meant I would do it...
