Make shorty or a kamisori with it so not a total lose
Out of my paygrade. I haven't even gotten to the point of honing yet. Still learning to shave with straights! If anyone wants this, it's a great blade (when intact). Attachment 173308
Sucks when that happens. I feel ya, but look here for an idea.http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...tubl-duck.html
If you don't feel comfortable grinding on it to make it a stubby send it to me and I can do it for you. For that matter, any number of members could do it as well. Sorry about that, looks like it was a nice shaver at one time but it still can be.
guitstik - PM me and I'll send it. I have another razor to ship for honing today so I can easily send 2 to different locations. Army has me being gone for the rest of the year, so it's not like I would even have an option to try a fix on this as I'll be in barracks with no tools.
That is sad, but I have a shorty and it's great fun to shave with.
guitstik - got your PM. I'll ship this one over to you and if you can save it, it's better than the garbage where I was about to send it.
What a generous offer. I've always said that there were some great helpful people on SRP. But, Wow!
@mglindo - generous from me?? It was garbage for me, so anyone who can use it, great. I mailed it to guistik this morning.
Oops! I guess I should have done, "reply with quote". My intent was to offer kudos to guitstik for his generous offer.
DAYUMM,
You've had some rough luck with razors this week.
Hope it's all behind you now. Guitstick will fix that Aust into a sweet shorty for you. Who knows, you might even like it more than before. ;)

What a complete Bastard of a thing to happen, I received an e-mail earlier on today from a member whom I sold a lovely mint Filarmonica JMP 13 he had been raving about the razor for months today he knocked the razor on to the bathroom floor he sent me a photo all I can say is what a sad sight throw it in the bin.
Wullie... not expecting it back from Guitstik - it's a gift from me at this point if he can use it. And Guitstik, if you're reading, just keep it and do whatever you'd like with it.
That pretty well sums it up very succinctly. Hate when that happens and yea I have dropped a blade and chipped it at the very beginning too. Been having your troubles with straights lately and now might be a good time to take a pause and a few deep breathes before proceeding along the way. It will all eventually come together.Quote:

Yup, that REALLY SUCKS!!! Sorry
I've yet to mess one up at the sink.
Screwed up a few out in the shop. Stuff happens. You cuss and go on, hopefully learning something in the process. ;) The ones I wrecked weren't even good for wind chime blades when I got done with 'em.
If that was me making it a shorty, I'd send it back to you anyway. It'd be a delightfully usable reminder to take care of bid'ness. :)
Yep, that sucks. I would have given you a blade for the scales...
Shooter... well &*&*... too late now. No biggie, but thanks for the offer.
Slow down a bit and assess the situation soldier...anything like that happens again, contact me...soldier to veteran.
Shooter... yea, I don't feel as bad about this as when I brought the blade up into the faucet. At least this was a legitimate "accident" vs my dumb ass doing something stupid. But, like you said, SLOOOOW down. On the upside, while my 5/8 is at Lynn's getting honed, I'm back to playing with the shavette so I'm still learning the process.
I also used this as a reason to buy another... just got this from SRD:

Lemonade from lemons. Well played.
Are you sure your subconscious wasn't working on you to make sure you bought another razor to keep your RAD happy? Nice razor!Quote:

Now that's a phrase you can sink your teeth into. Next time consider making
a shorty out of any broken blade. I've made three so far
and they work fine, especially in the goatee area..................:gl:
I've had such unfortunate things happen to me & it made me sick!!! Don't feel so all alone. Sh*t happens!!!
guitstik - if you happen back across this thread (and I also sent you a PM), I mailed you the wrong razor. Had the broken one going to you and a 5/8 going to Lynn for honing. Boxes got mixed up so I need to get the 5/8 back from you and I'll send you over this broken 6/8.
Not a problem. I will get it in the mail ASAP.
Appreciate! Quite the idiotic mistake on my part.
Don't sweat it, stuff happens.
Más tequila por favor! Más tequila! :roflmaoQuote:

I pinged the edge off of a razor when I first started shaving, flicked the razor off and it hit the end of the faucet. ....PINGGGG! ugh.
Let's get drunk Wullie & talk about old times. Nuthin' better to do!
