Thread: 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?

...yes. I tried to catch it, but luckily I missed.

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.

With my 37 years of Martial Arts experience, I simply moved with those lightning fast reflexes, and phenomenal speed, and gently snatched it from midair.....








With my chopsticks !!!!!!


Yeah RIIIIIIIIight!!!!
I got the hell outta the way and lucked out

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.

Since I shave in the shower, I move!! Broken blade is bad but missing parts is worse!!!!

I watched as it fell. I instinctively started to grab for my precious Dubl Duck, but sanity thankfully kicked in and I jumped back to ensure the razor had plenty of room to land. The end result was just a very, very minor chip right at the bevel that I honed out on a barber hone.

Luckily no drops yet, " knocks fervently on multiple wooden surfaces", but with the name Murphy, you never know...

One fell out of my hands some time ago before or after a shave. In an instant, I automatically lifted both hands away and stepped back in one motion as if I'd practiced such an evasive maneuver a 1,000 times even though I'd never done it before, and I let that sucker FALL!!!!

We are talking shave ready straight razors here, guys!

I lucked out; as if in slow motion, since it was in an open position javelin style, it landed "DONK" dead center on the toe and fell gracefully on it's side. Not one bit of damage and not one nick or chip to the edge! Whew, that was close.
