    Default Straight razors and I , are going our seperate ways.

    Hello all,

    You read correct , no more straight shaving . I broke my
    left elbow last week and required surgery . Surgery was done on
    Saturday - put in a plate .

    So obviously my left arm is out for sometime . Back to safety razors.

    Enjoy the photos , hopefully not too gruesome .

    Cheers,

    Scott

    You not quiting Your just taking a much needed break. I remember separating tendons from the growth plate in my elbow and I did it twice nothing compared to what you did but still sucks atleast youre not in a cast

    Yes I was being a bit cheeky . Hopefully once I have decent mobility
    in the elbow again - the straights come out . Funny thing I did was look up Evel Knievel. He broke 433 bones , the most in a human life - he is in the Guinness Book Of World Records !

    Cheers,

    Scott

    Well hopefully the doctors fixed you up because since the last time I hurt my elbow it has never been straight ever since it has a bow in it now hahaha

    Wow yeah - that is pretty gruesome! When I first glanced at the photo, I thought you did that with the straight lol! Anyway - I wish you all the very best in a speedy recovery. Looks like you have some nice DE's to help you along the way.

    'tis but a scratch..... I am glad to see it is only a break and not a permanent departure. I have often thought about not being able to use my arm/hands to be able to shave, what would I do???? I think the Mrs. would have to learn how to do a straight shave on me...
