Thread: My girlfriend dropped my razor :(

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.

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...
