    i only lend stuff out that i am prepared to never see again, that way if i get it back it is a bonus.

    My loaning story is that in my youth i borrowed a friends cartridge razor and caught impetigo.

    edit - sorry forgot the requested positive: i learned that my friend has impetigo

    Nothing shaving related. I did, however, loan my dad my 4ft level once. Went over to help him with a deck repair, and he was using it as a pry bar. Needless to say, we both have a new one- and mine never leaves my house without me.

    Had he asked for a pry bar, I would have loaned him one. But who knows what he would use that for.

    I have three sons who I lent many things to that either came back broken or not at all. I solved it when I moved across country but now I miss them

    Having a brother can be a complicated thing. Best thing is to learn his limitations and yours.
