I'm sure there are plenty of stories like this, but we had a friend over this weekend. And he found my razors and decided to strop them. To make a long story short, now my razors are dull (hopefully I can get it shave ready with a good stropping) and I have a lovely gash in my strop. So when you have guests, hide your razors.

btw do you think I can sand that out?
wth.. Your friend decided to just start playing with the extremely sharp expensive objects in your bathroom?
That deserves a beating.
...or make him shave with him so he learns the error of his ways.
That is unforgiveable! Hope you gave him a real beating.(Unless he was retarded, and IMO he would have to be to do something like that..)
It looks like you could save it with some sanding tough...
Good luck!

Strops can double as a belt for spanking in situations just like this. Sounds like your friend has the sense of a 6 year old, so perhaps treat him like one...
std,
How about inviting your friend to come over for some dimbulb stew? When he arrives ask him to pick out some good looking commestibles from the box of rocks in the pantry.
:gaah:
From the first pic of the gash it looks too deep to be sanded out. There was a thread a while ago with suggestions and materials/type of glue to fill in gashes like that. I don't think stropping over it is going to hurt anything either.
Did your friend own up to this, or were you surprised the next time you went to go shaving? I would have him buy you a new strop. That's sort of like stealing someone's car and running out of gas. Not the end of the line for the object, but surely a pain in the butt.
Time to set the grating up at the mast. Bosun, get the cat! 50 lashes around the fleet.. :chop:
surprised next time I shaved!:gaah:Quote:

The idea is to get it close to flat or lower than the rest of the strop right? So there is a small ridge, so I'll probably sand that ridge down and strop over it for the time being. What grit should I use?Quote:

In a weird way, this makes it a little less incomprehensible that he'd do such a thing. Maybe when you've been roommates the boundaries are never quite the same. :hmmm: Still, definitely a :nono: on his part. I've never had this happen to a strop--yet!--so all I can offer is good wishes and the hope you can repair the damage.Quote:

Since he has such an interest in straights I would have really given him a lesson and shaved him with the dullest razor in the lot.
Use that strop to give him a good beatin'. See Henry's father in the beginning of "Goodfellas" for tips on proper form. :p

Sounds like you guys need to form a MOB.Get a rope,fire up the tar and feathers.GET EM BOYS!!!!!!!:chop::medvl:Sorry to hear about your shaving equipment.If your really angry at him,leave a loaded gun with a hair trigger in the bathroom,that should remedy his human curiosity :gth.Reminds me of a song. THATS WHAT FRIEND ARE FOR.:D
:rant:
personally, i'd shave his head with the dulled blade. there are just some things you don't touch if you don't know what you are doing. the only thing worse than what he did would be to traipse into NORAD and say, "what's this red button do?" and push it.
I can't believe that happened.... That would make me angry and want to cry at the same time.
I remember one time I was showing my brother one of my razors, and he jokingly pretended to rub it against the brick fireplace.....I never realized until that moment how protective I am over my shaving stuff....
With friends like that... :shrug: :roflmao
thats life... "forgiveness is easier to acquire than permission" :rolleyes:
heck I would have shown him how, I've been trying to take pictures, but he knicked up the tip of the blades too!Quote:

If there is no flap at the slice ignore it and strop as usual. If there is a flap get some barge cement and put it into the flap and leave it open for ten minutes. after the wait when it looks like the glue is too dry and useless then it is the perfect time to close the flap. Carefuly trim away anything hanging and sand it with 220 sandpaper. You will be good to go.
