Thread: When "Oh Sh%t!" happens

Scarred, not scared Mike, or you would certainly not be here offering mentoring help in a straight razor shaving forum.

Sorry to be pedantic, but spelling matters this time. Stupid English language! *



(*edit -- 1st time I've corrected anyone's spelling on a forum; temptation too great I suppose)

Oh...I was scared. I was only 4 or 5 when it happened. Thought I was gonna bleed to death. Yep, theres definitely still a scar, but not scared anymore. I'm covered with stupidity notches.

ScarredStraight would be a great forum handle, huh?

Lmao! Stupidity Scars! I'm gonna remember that one.
I've got dozens.. My knuckles, my face, and I think my brain is covered in them! Hind sight is too often a black eye and a wounded ego..

I have done that before.. As in breaking scales trying to get the scales tighter but if you have ever owned a Koraat it should be a long time before they become loose...

Funny, when I looked at the OP I didn't even see the broken scales, the blade looked OK. I had to go back and look again after reading down a bit.

Indeed, I would save the freak-out for when the actual tool gets damaged rather than its relatively inexpensive scales. Consider yourself fortunate Murphy gave you a second chance with this fine blade. *
