Not quite a workshop story, but...
Last week my wife and I went to LA and I decided to bring along my spanking new Shumate, seen here. It came with the original box in pristine condition, which is what I kept it in for storage. I had to pack the razor in my checked baggage and didn't want it knocked around or swiped, so I shoved it in the pocket of a pair of khakis. When I got back, I emptied all the luggage into the laundry basket and you can see where this is going... I just went down to switch the laundry and just happened to feel the pocket of my khakis. NOOOO! I left the razor in my pants! :gaah: But there's a happy ending to this story: the razor is just fine (and still shaving, somehow) just a little cleaner than before. The box is mushy rubbish.

Thank goodness you found it before the dryer, razor and khaki's would have been toast. I'd WD-40 the pivot pin/scale area to displace moisture and oil it up to ensure no rust. Good story...
