Misery loves company...
So, since the wife is out at a work function, I figured I would take advantage of the general quiet around the house and do a bit of work on some razors....
First, I start honing a W&B, and realize, under magnification, that their is a crack in the middle of the blade.
Then, one my my dogs (the boxer) barrels into my legs while I'm wiping off a Reynolds before moving up a grit, and I knock it into the edge of my granite countertop, snapping a 1" chuck out of the middle of the blade.
I called it quits for the day.

Remind me to never send you razors to hone the weeks your wife will be gone or the dogs are in the house.

Sorry about that but it looks like your boxer may have done you a favor. Anyway calling it quits for the day is always a good idea. : )

Good idea.
Kinda the icing on the cake for today. I guess the bright side, is that at least I didn't spend a bunch of acquiring them.

Seems that way, right? I'm locking them outside whenever I hone now.

Just a word from experience........don't shave with bathroom door unlocked. The counter can take a razor hit much better than your face.

I just got a Henry Sears, while looking at it dropped it on the hardwood floor, broke one of the scales and shattered the blade into several pieces. Thank goodness it was a cheap razor.
