    Default How did you react the last time you dropped a razor?

    The last time a razor slipped from your grasp or was knocked from a shelf?

    Until now I've never dropped a razor *touching wood*. But if this would happen, I just hope that I'll have the reflex to let it fall and get out of the way... I need my fingers, toes, etc...

    I've never actually dropped one. I've had other mishaps with some though.

    I was sitting down, honing near the edge of the end of the table, so I wasn't in the path of its fall. The main thing I was worried about was wrecking the edge, but it mustn't have touched the floor. It was absolutely fine.

    Drop: 1 yard
    Landing surface: hardwood floor.

    I will never hone near the end of the table again. That way if it slips out of my hand it will onl fall 1" to the table.

    Shave in the shower?!?!?!? Holy Smurf! I am not *that* brave. What keeps me from even thinking about it - is knowing how slick that uberlather is and what slick / wet hands + extra sharp razor could result in....

    I made an quick grab for it, and made an even quicker stop to avoid loss of finger flexor tendons. End result? Me saying SHI..... as impotently watching it hit the ground and dancing away to save toes.
