Thread: Hotel housekeeping broke my razor

Think I would be quite ticked in such a case.
Why do they go in your private stuff in the first place? Looking for something?

Glad it worked out to your satisfaction though.

You've taught me a valuable lesson. I'm not bringing my razors anywhere. It stinks having to settle for a disposable, but looking at such a nice razor getting destroyed like that it becomes a personal attack......too much to bear.

I would have lost my mind. Sorry to hear that they killed such a nice blade.

That is a fear i have at home too. I have mine in the guest bathroom cause my wife's stuff has taken over the master bathroom counter. Even though i put it in the medicine cabinet after it dries im afraid someone is going to be looking for some Advil and see it and play with it and cut themselves or worse break the blade.

Though break man. So sorry. Have you ever had trouble traveling through airports with your Razor?

You must be staying at better digs than me. The managers at the places I stay at would have just laughed.

Nice replacement set. Break one...replace with two!

Come to think of it, that sounds like a good way to increase the collection. Sacrifice one I could bear to lose and get two more just like it.

I am moving to Philly so I have been going out there every couple weeks for a couple of weeks so I know all the hotel staff. Nice folks. I told the manager accidents happen but what gets my goat is that they broke it then put it back like nothing happened. I would have been a lot more understanding if they just told me they droped it and it broke.

I keep my razors and toothbrush in my shaving mug. I am guessing curiosity got the better of her. Not often you see a couple of gold washed big blade straight razors. The blades are pinned tight so even if the cup got knocked over, the blades wont just flop open. Someone had to open it.

I offered send the manager links to the page for the price, show him my broken razor etc... but I stay there enough (3 or so weeks a month) he trusts me and takes it all on faith. Like I said, nice bunch of people.

Gave the wedge a test drive this morning, nice and heavy, feels more like a 8/8 blade in heft. I did not shave yesterday so I had two days worth of stubble to take care of. Glided right through it. If you travel, this would make for an awesome travel set. Of if you just like stiff grind heavy blades it makes for a nice set.

When I fly, I pack them in my check bag along with my pocket knife. Never had any issue.

I think a fitting punishment for that housekeeper should be a full headshave, and leg(assuming female) with the razor as is.

Proper prep and all, no need to be barbaric.

Oh, and Pinauds Bay Rum for the aftershave.

A great hotel manager! Its hard to believe somebody actually took responsibility for the loss, and what a loss it was.
