    Default How is THIS possible?

    Sometimes its very hard to stay in a positive mood. A few hours ago something terrible happened to one of my best (maybe even my best) straight.
    I dropped it on the granite bathroomfloor and this is what happened.

    Sorry also to the guy I bought the razor from: LXemergency you have a lot of hours work in this razor too...

    So If anybody knows where one could find another Theunissen 7/8 (solingen, germany nr 2004) I would love to buy it as this one was really special to me.

    AND now the real question. How is this possible? The razor was closed when it dropped out of my hands on the floor. And when I looked at it this big piece was out! Has this to do with metal fatigue over the years, or is it just the sturdiness of the razor (and is a more flexible, smaller razor less fragile?)?

    thanks,
    michel

    Razors use very hard steel, which is consequently quite brittle. Now you know how all those mangled ebay razors got that way...

    Edit: Oh, and my condolences on your loss.

    Bummer -but kind of elegant how it broke -not ragged looking --almost like it was cut out. Anyway, just a positive spin,

    Can't you tape it or glue it?

    Alternately, can you hone the chip out - I figure about 100 hours or so on the Norton and you'll have a nice 3/8

    I'm just trying to find some humour in a crappy situation - sorry for your loss .

    As for why the razor broke, its possible that the blade came into contact with the scales or the shock of the impact was enough to shatter the metal.

    Sorry about that but maybe you can crazyglue the piece back and sell it on Eboy as a mint never used razor.
