Had that exact thing happen - was holding the box in both hands and suddenly the razor goes sliding off to the left and onto the floor..by luck it hit tang first and it was on fairly thick carpeting...just shook my head and wrote the seller that perhaps in the future an added piece of tape or a FERKING WARNING LABEL might be in order....

Someone made a post way back that it pays to roll a razor in bubble wrap and
secure the roll with multiple rubber bands.

Tape is a pain and the bubble wrap often suffers and cannot be used a second time.

Some honemasters might make a comment on how they "like" their packages to arrive.

I've been using bubble wrap and rubber bands for years when I send razors. Recently I began slipping the bubble wrapped razors into the cardboard roll left over from a used up roll of paper towels. With each end folded and a bit of tape applied it gives the razor a bit more protection.

I hate when I receive a razor wrapped with so much tape that I have to be careful not to damage it removing the tape.
