I missed the poll, but I definitely stood back from the tumbling blade of death. There's a small nick in the toe which I've yet to hone out, but since it's my favourite razor I'll get that done as soon as I have a spare hour. Monday?

Can't imagine that I wouldn't be terribly upset. But my sailing days taught me the valuable lesson that things dropped or running should be watched tenderly. Saves other issues from coming to the forefront...

I learned today to look at the razor while changing hands.
While leaning in towards the mirror to check for visible stragglers, I passed the razor from right to left and felt it slip. I jerked back, looked down, and made a grab for it. Unfortunately, my finger hit the scales instead of deftly grabbing them, and I sent the razor FLYING. It hit the edge of the sink, bounced spinning off the edge of the tub (about a meter away), and rattled back and forth most of the length of the tub, ending up near the drain.
Holding my breath, I picked it up, rinsed the lather off, and held it up to the light. Not a single ding. Nothing.
Waited for my hands to stop shaking, stropped it a few times, and finished the shave. Now I might go buy a lottery ticket. :D
