Better his beard than any paper products. My DH has a beard too. Kinda partial to it looking trim.

I would have LOVED to have a picture. I'd already left for work when this happened. Wish I'd seen it!

Yeah, I've forgiven him. He's a pretty great guy and also my best friend. He's getting new scissors and trimmer for Father's Day.

I was going to say that, then remembered I'm on the quilt board and not Knitting Paradise. lol

It's paper that dulls scissors because of the wood pulp in it. I've never heard anything suggesting beards would be damaging to scissors, and when I wore bangs I often trimmed them with the best scissors from the sewing room. I think I'd be annoyed if he used them on his toenails, though. Gotta have some respect!

I bought inexpensive scissors at Walmart and have them stashed everywhere. My husband has been repeatedly warned to not touch the sewing scissors. However, I still haven't been able to break him from using my kitchen shears on paper! May have to buy a daggone lock!!!

Hey, he went to work and brings home a paycheck. So if he's otherwise a good husband and this is a one-time deal, I say forgive him.

Yep! Think he deserves a pass this time. Now when my dad used my moms to trim his toenails. . .

Better to replace the scissors that have your hubby look like a wild man....
