First shaving casualty.

[Blackbeard's Delight]

So this morning the wife comes out of the bathroom and says "I just opened the cabinet and your old spice shaving cream in the tube fell into the toilet." The plastic cap actually broke off the tube so the product is surely contaminated. Into the trash it went.

It was the musk flavor which I wasn't a huge fan of, but it was on the outskirts of my shaving cream rotation. Sigh. I will be flying the shaving flag at half staff tomorrow.

Anyone else ever lose product to the dastardly toilet? I have feared this since my mini shave den began growing... the only cabinet space in there is on a shelf unit thingie over the toilet. I have slowly taken over one of the two shelves in it since I started wet shaving.

Does the 5 second rule not apply here?

I don't know... she had just finished using the bathroom, and she fished it out and threw it out before she told me. If it were a more beloved or rare product I would be hitting it with those electric paddles saying "don't you die on me!!!"

I had that problem with a boar brush. Holder was WAY too close to the toilet, and adhesive was coming undone. Eventually, in it went.

The only option was to move my stuff further away from the toilet. Most is in the medicine cabinet a few feet away from it and my brush holder is moved WAY over, and my razor rack is on the other wall now.

Was your toilet extremely filthy?

Otherwise I wouldn't be worried about it getting contaminated to the point that you can't use it. I mean it was only in there for a second or two, right?

And it's YOUR toilet. If it was a public toilet then it's a completely different story.

I used to have a puck of Tabac in the ceramic dish. I didn't particularly like it, and didn't use it much, but it was still very sad when I bumoed it off the shelf and the bowl smashed. The soap was perfectly salvageable and I later sold it, but I still miss the bowl.

i think that depends on before or after a flush.

 

[sychodelix]

You know what the sad thing is? Your toilet is usually cleaner than your kitchen.

This is the reason I keep the lid down when the toilet is not in use.

This is the reason I keep the lid down when the toilet is not in use.

I said something along these lines when she told me what happened. My delivery was more like an angry Charlie Brown though, nose pointed at the ceiling, probably ending with me yelling "AAaarrrg!!!" and running out of the room. It was a blur of emotion, so I don't remember much!

It's always been a pet peeve of mine... putting the lid down. I am always walking by and going in to put the lid down. I may need to become a Seinfeld character to police this. Maybe the lid-nazi...? "NO TOILET FOR YOU!!"

Yes, this is very much true. I still wouldn't use that product after what happened. It's not that the replacement cost would be so high anyways...

 

[jburghy]

Well now I am just getting paranoid.

 

[Deltaboy]

Boys those things have a lid for a reason!

 

[Mad Man]

There's a couple of products that I wouldn't mind "accidentally" dropping in the crapper now that you mention it.
