Default stupid Duck

I hate gravity some times......

I was pulling out the box of unscaled blades to work on a few, and my Double Duck decided to try and fly.
It slid out of the cloth wrapper, and took a nose dive right onto the hard kitchen floor!!
Needless to say the front 3/8" of the edge snapped off.
So I guess I'll have to bob the blade and just have a stumpy Duck.....*sigh*

I really hate gravity sometimes.....

That does suck but at least it chose to land on the floor and not your foot.

I don't own any straights, but reading that made me really sad.
Sorry for your bad fortune..

I'd prefer the foot. Flesh heals. "sides, couln't do that much damage to my foot.

That sucks.

The first time I've dropped a razor it landed in the toilet
Luckily nothing happened.
