THE RAZOR RIDDLE
Two roommates share a bathroom as a 20-year-old poster suspects Sage used their razor for personal grooming and weighs how to confront her without wrecking the living situation.

The razor kept moving, and then the roommate's freshly shaved face made the suspicion impossible to ignore.
A 20-year-old poster says they live with their boyfriend, 21-year-old Kaleb, and a 24-year-old roommate named Sage. The problem started small: the poster had begun noticing that their razor was no longer sitting where they left it.
The two roommates had already tried to prevent exactly this kind of mix-up. "Sage and I agreed we'd have different colored razors," the poster explained. So at first, when the razor turned up somewhere else, the poster brushed it off. "I assumed the first time or two it moved it was an accident."
But the little mystery didn't stop.
Then, today, the poster spotted something else: "today I noticed her face was freshly shaved." There was no razor sitting in Sage's bathroom space. "She didn't have a razor in the bathroom and mine was moved," the poster wrote.
That was enough to send the poster into a spiral of suspicion. If Sage had shaved, and if Sage didn't have a razor of her own in the bathroom, then the poster's razor had a very obvious explanation. The poster now thinks Sage may have used it on her face without asking.
Now comes the part the poster is stuck on: how to bring it up.
"I'm stressing out on how to ask her if she used it," they said, because the razor wasn't just any razor. The poster is considering telling Sage exactly where it's used, and why that would be a problem. The idea is to reveal that the razor is used "to shave my bikini area," so Sage will understand just how gross it is to use someone else's hygiene products.
The poster framed the question bluntly: if they told Sage that, "would I be the asshole?" They want Sage to realize what happened and stop using the wrong razor, but they're not sure whether saying it that directly would cross a line.
For now, the facts are simple: a shared bathroom, separate razors in different colors, a razor that keeps getting moved, and one freshly shaved face with no matching razor in sight. The poster is left staring at the bathroom and wondering how to ask the question without making it worse.
"So WIBTA?"
