A little levity
So your shaving by the sink which has a closet adjacent to where your standing and you're going against the grain on your neck and all of a sudden your wife opens the door with the force of a speeding locomotive and same hits you square in the back.
So your reaction is......(fill in the blank-example-"great Tosuke's ghost")
Oh and no damage was done if that matters.

Sparks, Nevada Police report last night Homer La Fong Died while shaving with his straight razor. His wife reported he was using his Iwasaki Razor and while shaving his neck it just seemed to have a mind of its own and came to life and cut his throat. Subsequent investigation revealed the razor belonged to Toshiro Kawasaki a WWll Kamakazee pilot who was killed when his plane slammed into the USS Yorktown. His last act was to shave with that razor. It is suspected the razor is haunted.

Sort of like shaving while in the midst of a serious case of the hiccups. I get the hiccups when I get extremely nervous,have had them for 3 days at a stretch, the last batch was only 2 days. I found out that shaving while hiccuping isn't a chore to be taken lightly.
Glad to hear that all of you are OK, (you, the razor and SWMBO)

For a while I was quite into "Sons of the Pharahos," but it didn't stick quite as nicely as I'd hoped.
I would likely say something rather ordinary, such as "damnit woman," and as soon as the nerves went down, I'd add in something about her remaining confined to the kitchen and laundry room.

Hey, if my wife suddenly came out of the closet, I'd be pretty upset too!
Wait, what did this have to do with shaving?

I've convinced my wife that she needs to let me know before she opens the soor, so thats not problem for us.
However, my worst cut is a direct result of s imilar but totally different scenario. I was doing my normal shave, we're running late, so my wife is showering as a shave. The water stops running, and in the corner of the mirror I see her naked getting out of the shower... I couldn't help it, I turned for a better look.
Must remember to take my razor off my face next time.
Either that, or turn my whole body rather than just my head.
It blood for about an hour!

P.S. It was worth it!

Be sure to accidentally let her see your post. It will increase the odds of seeing her naked again soon.

This is an easy one....
Women should first off never be allowed in the "shave den" without first asking in a very polite voice "May I enter the Lord of the Manor's Domain" ?????
Now in the real world ..........
When she barges in I usually say something like "Woman I swear if I get cut, I will bleed on your carpet, and you will, be cleaning it while I am at the ER"

You'll be at the ER because you bled on her carpet, the razor wound would be superficial.

You must have a lanyard on your straight. Otherwise, when you drop your straight in the shower (and you will), you might lose something you're really, really fond of. And I'm not talking about a toe.

To what are we attaching the lanyard? That which can do the removal or that which may be removed? Ectomyer or ectomyed?

Hah! Either way, I don't think the OP wants to lose his "precious."
