I don't know about anyone else but I clucked my razor on the faucet during my second shave ever. Ended my shaving practice until I could ship it out and get it back. I wish I had had two. Since then I have been more vigilant but still sometimes one or another of my razors comes up dull for no real reason other than use, it's sometime a few days before I can get to them even though I do my own sharpening now. I'm very glad I have more than one razor on these rare occasions
