    Send a broken razor??? I am not sure how to respond to that . I will take the high road.
    Sir I can assure you that is not how this community operates. SOL no such thing. I live for this SH@t.
    I did send 2 razors. Neither was broken. Return the broken one to me and I will fix it.
    PIF does not include mailing broken busted razors. It is embarrassing and not how WE take care of each other.
    I cannot keep sending 2 razors endlessly. I will make the Imperial right. I will resend it in a BOX.
    get it back to me and I will make it right.
    This is the best I can do.
    Please accept my apologies for the postal service.
    [SIZE=3]Send it back . I dont give junk gifts. I will make this right. My name is on this . I dont operate this way. My word is my bond.MY handshake is a good as Gold. Any member here worth his salt will tell you that a intact blade can be saved. Put my good name on it.[/SIZE]

    Its not your fault, i know. I just didnt know if it was the mail or not. I apologize if you took it to offence by me thinking you may send a broken razor. The USPS just piss me off so much because this is not the first time this has happened.

    A year ago USPS sent an empty package with one side ripped off. It use to contain a USB stick containing my only existing photos of my wedding. The same time I sent a check to the DJ for the wedding in which he received it and it looked like it was chewed by a dog. Im just quite surprised at how often this happens. Very frustrating.

    Hopefully it DOES return back to you, and not just an empty package, lol. I will send it back.

    PS...I attempted to rig it to an ebay junk straight razor handle (that i purchased WAY before joining this forum). So ummmm, yeah, you may get a chuckle when you see it now.

    OP (original poster metulburr) this is what PMs are for. I certainly understand the frustration of waiting for the mail and being upset, but I'd suggest you not call out a charity provider over what they might (or in this case sent you more and better of) sent you in the public forum. Excuse me, but "grow up" (internet wise), my friend.

    Im not sure what is the problem? What is the big deal of it being on public forums? Its not like he was "taunting" me with sending a broken razor. I would still be grateful with a broken razor, because a broken razor is better than no razor. I wasn't trying to come across rude. I was trying to see if the mail did indeed lose a razor (because i am going to raise hell with my postmaster again). I don't know why you think everything related to gifts has to be so "secretive" and problems that may arise with them? If my shoe was on the other foot, i wouldnt care about it being posted publicly. Shit happens....even when you are doing good.

    @ultrasoundguy2003
    if what Haroldg48 said was true, i deeply apologize and will from now on post via PM.

    Guys -- I apologize if I misunderstood, but I read Metalburrs post as "what did you send me, broken razors? and BTW the USPS messed it up to boot, and I was ONLY suggesting that he say to his "gifter" privately, "what was I supposed to get vs. what I got.

    Back me out of this conversation. I apologize to anyone whom I offended. No offense intended.
    Just call me Harold

    We the community will fix this .Haroldg48 has a point with regards gentlemanship .Metulburr I know heartbreak in the mail. I shipped a Unicorn 6/8th Hans Otto Duetsch that just went missing.(sameday,same shipment) I cant replace that.
    You I can fix. Wait we the community can fix this. This razor is from US the community.
    We will fix this .
    Please Sir trust US and me. Blade is in tact correct??
    Send it back to me and I will fix it and do my best to do right by you. This will work out .
    Yes the mail did lose a razor. Let me see if I can fix that too. No promises, but if Santa does come early post pictures of a happy face.
    Sound fair??

    no problems. I didn't know you read my post like...
    "what did you send me, broken razors? and BTW the USPS messed it up to boot,
    I would feel the same way if i saw a "receiver" act like that towards a "gifter" too.
    At the time i was just so mad at the USPS. I guess i put too much of that into my post.
