A clavicle that is and not broken scales, heaven forbid. A month after my bicycle crash I dared a greatly missed SR shave. A return to civilized living. Born again!

I know the feeling. Eight years ago I took a dive off of a Litespeed Vortex @ 20mph. Slept in a chair for 3 months (to avoid rolling over on the healing clavicle A.K.A. collarbone) and missed 5 weeks work. I shaved with a Merkur 37C slant until I could begin to use my left hand/arm for stretching again. Not a pleasant experience. I wish you quick healing.Quote:

Jimmy, as a cyclist you will appreciate that I was as concerned about the scratches on my Campy Ergo levers as anything else. By the way, I was on my Merlin titanium. I fared better than you from the sound of it.
Spender, I was spot on with the blade. Like riding a bike dontcha know!
Glad you clarified. My question from your subject line was how did the bone take an edge? :rofl2:Quote:

Lost skin on my ribs and elbow but no broken bones.Quote:

That event changed things for me a bit...I had my best racing year ever the next year.
