I like razors

Yeah I can see it, you both get ready, get a taxi or train into town maybe 4 or 5 so she can wander around and you can go for a drink before dinner. You pass a C&E or other purveyor of shaving products and “nip in for a quick look” she really wanted to go to Frasers to look at shoes. You eventually get dragged out the shaving shop over to Frasers and think about if you should have bought the balm or not.

Eventually you get to eat and comment on the waiters terrible shave and how he must use an electric, “I mean look at the burn on his neck”

Only kidding around, am sure you will have a nice night, but have you got a “special shave” planned? If so then you are as sad as me, some nights when I know we are going out I think “What will I shave with?” and “What will I wear?” is secondary and decided 10 mins before leaving.
You mean if I can get near the bathroom?
To answer your question, yes, I'll have a nice hot shower, lather up with ToBs lavender (I prefer almond but I'm out of it at the minute), new blade in the Slim adjustable, and a nice relaxing shave. The after shave or cologne will be a surprise. On big nights out I usually let her pick. That's always a winner because she has been consulted and therefore I get brownie points, and I'm happy too because I don't have anything in my collection that I don't like so she isn't able to pick out a duffer :)

When I read stuff like this it makes me thankful for my SWMBO - she hates shopping with a passion - especially for clothes and shoes for herself. When she needs something it takes me dragging her in to all the relevant emporia.

Fortunately we have been married long enough that we have passed the holding hands and doing everything together all of the time stage. When we go shopping we split up, her to the clothes shops me to the gadget/hi-fi/shaving gear shops and we arrange to meet up for lunch or a drink. Works very well for us :)

Good man that is exactly what I do. I do like that almond. Only ever had a sample but enjoyed it.

And one other thing - I always let her use the bathroom first, that way I don't get rushed!

Oh I don't do this out of a sense of duty... this is to get it over with. Left to her own devices she'd look at clothes for 0.03s, get bored and look at books or something instead. Then I'd have to be dragged around all over again (since we live in Sticks Central and she doesn't drive, I get to be chauffeur - so when we go, we go and if that means a 263 hour epic round every clothes shop in the Central Belt, we do it until she's bloody well bought something)

Much as I would like to point out to my wife the error of her ways she is right, even when she is wrong. I am quite happy to let her think what she will, and anyway I prefer eating my dinner to wearing it

There speaks a wise man... :)

Not wise Nikonos, just house trained :)
Mind you, after being married for 28 years I know (sort of) what I can get away with and what I can't

I think if I was married a thousand years I'd be no nearer knowing that! I had a look for some good quotes on marriage. This one is pretty good:

“I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. First, let her think she's having her own way. And second, let her have it.” -Lyndon B. Johnson

There are lots more here, if you have a while to spare (or should you be tidying the loft or mowing the lawn or picking up your clothes?:
