    Default Crashed and broke today.

    So there I was checking a razor for sharpness, (have to use my leg hair) Turn around to do some more strokes with it on the 4k and lose my balance and fall backward slap dad on my back (Tile floor!!) razor in right hand and I get head snapped on the tile. Dazed for a minute then looked at my razor, dang handle has broke clean in half! Its a Simmons Hardware 5/8ths "Klean Kutter" . I don't know what hurt worse my back or the thought of having a broke razor. I tried super glue but it was too fast, it looks like epoxy time. Someone one have a spare back that's in good shape? Mine is done, too many miles on it.

    Now you have a reason to learn how to make scales and pin a razor.

    Dropping razors was what got me in the scale business.
    If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

    I would worry more about your body. You can always get a new/different razor.

    My body is done!, double curve scoliosis with 2 steel rods implanted from the base of the neck to small of the back (4 disks up) which are fused together in 1992. Every 4 to 6 inches there are 6 or so wires wrapped around my spine and tied to the rods, didn't start hurting until about 3 years ago, now its a steady 4 to 5 without pain meds. Its tough without them.
