Thread: im LITERALLY cryin.... well i was

wife yells at me, razor slips, and the ONLY razor that has given me a good shave since i tried DE, SE, straight shaving etc chips HARD when it falls..

someone PLEASE tell me somehow this can be saved...

the only other straight i have right now thats shave ready doesnt shave me well at ALL...

i just today shaved everything but a van dyke and i was SO excited...

then this slipped, fell, and literally i came to tears..

i dont care if it has to have a big smile... an this be saved? PLEASE say yes!!! I cant afford to get anything else redone yet...

i cant believe how upset this has me... i literally didnt move for 5 minutes when it fell and i saw the chip

i know i dont need to tell you what chipped... but its obviously the tip area

I think the best option would be to throw on some tape and hone her out. If you are confident in your honing, you can start with the spine up a bit. Focus in at the toe so you don't put on excessive wear where you don't need to.

i couldnt hone a razor to save my life... i was lucky enough to have a friend from here hone this up for me

the break isnt clean, and its about 1/2" total length...

im fearfull its toast.. and i literally havent had anything work lose to this well.. just depressing..

those lucky enough to afford multiple razors etc, be glad for your situation.. this may have put me out of shaving for a while.. i cant afford another razor, and my DEs just eat up my skin, i cant do anything without a ton of irritation with those damn things

I think if you sent it to the right person here, it could be fixed by making it "smile" a bit and a new bevel/honing done. You MIGHT like it better than ever! It is advisable to never shave when the wife might yell at you. Yeah, Thats it! Good luck!

thanks for a couple hopefull replies..

i sincerely hope she can be saved.. this razor really was perfect for me, atleast at this point.. and i love everything about it..

hopefully i can find someone willing to take it on

If I was you, I'd contact some of the really senior guys like Max and Glen by PM. If anyone would know what to do, I think it would be those guys.

Terribly sorry to hear about this one. That really sucks.

When you say the break isn't clean, do you mean the blade is cracked above the chipping? Or is it just the chipping?

Did you actually have the razor to your throat when you're wife yelled at you & was she aware of that ?
Reminded me of another thread a while back where the guy said his wife liked to bump his elbow while he shaved.

PS I think the razor is saveable
