Good luck!

Just a razor. Now, as far as what you should expect from the relationship goes: I think you should take her to Victoria's Secret, let he choose something you like and explain how she can make things up to you.

Marriage is grand,,,,,,divorce is 400 grand,

The horror....imagine if it had been ivory or pearl scaled!! Your loss is minor, and you have a free honing to put it right.

What I would have found most annoying was coming out of the shower looking forward to my shave and having to strop up another razor...

It could have been alot worse, especially if it was left on the floor and she didn't tell you, I mean, you could have stepped on it bare foot! Ouch

Classic story:

Girl drops the razor.
Guy drops the girl.

The end.

Mark,
So sorry to hear (or rather read) about your mis-adventure with the Dovo. In my mind, the thing that bugs me the most is that this incident has nothing to do with the razor, but it has everything to do with communication. Why wouldn't your GF tell you about it knowing full well that you would find out?

Anyway, this communication thing is a little thing that makes a BIG difference (for me, anyway).

IMO, JoeD is absolutely right on the money with his advice...one has to wonder what value she puts on the relationship if she was unwilling to communicate this mishap with you...after all, it's not like a make or break kind of a deal?

I agree; she should have told you--it's not as if you wouldn't have found out anyway. Accidents may well happen, but not telling you...? Especially since she knows how much you value your razors!

Also agree you were relatively lucky--my Wapi is no more after being dropped--a 2/8 chip mid-blade resulted. Not worth grinding out, since the razor was only 5/8.
Holli is right about scratching strops w/ a nicked razor--I''ve done that once. Fortunately it was shallow, so it buffed right out. Wouldn't want to risk it on something like a Kanayama, though.

Sounds like somebody is jealous and needing some attention!

Between my wife and three cats... all my razors must be kept in a latched box as far away from gravity as possible except when I'm using one for a shave then that razor is never out of my sight. If anyone drops one of my razors it's gonna be me...
