Thread: My girlfriend dropped my razor :(

Title says it all. I had just stropped it up and was in the shower and my gf knocked it off the sink. Then she didn't even tell me. I got out of the shower, lathered up, went to grab my razor and it wasn't there. So I'm looking around and I finally ask her if she saw it and she tells me she dropped it. I went back into the bathroom and there it was, blade open, lying on the floor still.

Now there are 3 tiny spots near the toe that don't reflect light quite like the rest of the bladed. Thankfully, I have a free honing from ynn, and my razor was starting to feel like it needed a honing.

Mostly I'm disappointed that she knocked it off the sink in the first place (she knows how I cherish them) and then not even pick it back up or tell me. Grrrrrrrr.

Sorry to hear about the razor... let us know how this play's out...

If it was a special vintage blade, she's easier to replace!

If it's just three small spots near the toe, your razor faired remarkably well. The first time i dropped a razor, it cracked and broke a huge piece out of the toe - that razor is toast. The scecond time, there was no apparent damage (and definitely none to the edge), but it was a razor I was in the middle of buffing anyway.

Now if it would have been a pair of her shoes...

Thankfully it was a relatively inexpensive dovo, and the damage doesn't look to great. Like I said, 3 tiny spots on the edge that reflect light just a little differently. I restropped and shaved with it, and it did an alright job.

For future reference, that doesn't sound to me like a good idea. If there are chips or dings, there could be jagged edges, which could tear up your strop or worse, your face.

+1 to that! I made that mistake and scraped the hell out of my strop in just 2 strokes!

Sorry to hear about your razor's adventure. If you haven't already you should consider where your future is with your girlfriend and what you can expect from the relationship. Everyone makes mistakes. It's what you do with those mistakes that sets each of us apart from the rest. The next question should now be "What else don't I know that I should?"

Good luck!

I hope you remembered to ask her if she was hurt when your razor fell on the floor.....and showed real sincerity when you asked......

Sorry about the accident. Hopefully it will get honed out, and you'll be back in action real soon.
