How Many Razors do you own?

Finding the right razor cures RAD

You would think that would be the case, but it ain't that way. Even though the vast majority of the razors in my arsenal rarely if ever get wet, it doesn't mean I stopped looking for more. Yeah, the thrill of finding something in the wild and all that.

Sheeeesh,

Martin

No idea but perhaps less than 10 which is at least 7 too many. Going to whittle them down to 3 max. Brushes are a different story!

What the literal buggery fuck?

I bet you only have one floppy sword, don't ya? And I bet you spend more time with THAT every week than all those shavers.
 
I know! What the fuck was I thinking? I mean I HATE shaving!!!

Yes, you're right ... just the seven floppy swords:

2x Electric Foil
1x Electric Foil (Lightweight)
2x Electric Epee
1x Steam Foil
1x Electric Sabre

... I'm a foilist for fun (and wins), epeeist purely for the wins since it's not actually fun.

Mrs has three:

1x Electric Foil
1x Steam Foil
1x Electric Sabre

.... she's a Sabreur.

... and yes, you're right again ... much more time with them (swords, not Mrs).

In fairness, they did cost a LOT more, though. I've been selling off boutique car waxes to fund my new addiction and so far, I don't actually think I'm out of pocket. I have just two brushes and one was an accident. It's razors I like ...

God help if I ever get into straights, eh? I should probably pay the mortgage off first.

I find thumbs are a man's best friend in these situations.
 
If your 'sword' is 'floppy' then thumbing it in usually works.

Apologies Vinny but I don't get it.....:blush:

My dear G, maybe I can help,

I believe Vincent is suggesting inserting the thumbs into the lovely lady's ears. Think corn cob holders.

Did I win?

Also, floppy swords rarely lead to a happy ending....just sayin.

Oh hell, I just saw what definition Vinnie typed. Sheeeesh, never mind me then.
