As a 78 year old who has been shaving daily since my 15th birthday, I don't think I have ever dropped a razor.
Dropping a razor is like dropping a baby!

My PAA Phoenix DOC fell from a shelf in the shower. For a split second as it was falling, I wasn't sure if I should put my foot out to break the fall. I didn't, but luckily enough it was fine. No damage at all. I was lucky I was in the shower, because I think I peed a little. I've almost dropped my other razors a few times. I have a mini panic attack every time. I would hate to lose a razor because of my clumsiness.
One of the reasons that I asked the original question is I currently have soft linoleum in my bathrooms but will be renovating them this winter. I am leaning towards ceramic tile but obviously concerned about dropping razors on it. I am not sure if I am just lucky to have not dropped them yet or if I am due for a butter fingers catastrophe.
Even though I haven't dropped my razor, my go-to brush has more dents from the regular drops than a firing range backboard.
I haven't dropped my razor.
My cat has however dropped it from the stand to the sink.

Dropped my EJ with the nice shiny chrome finish. Chin to counter. First ting was to panic and check the razor and handle carefully for nicks, dents, etc. Only after I was satisfied that there was not damage did I look for chips on the counter. It is the only razor I have had any potential slippage. All the other handles have some form of traction.
Broke a razor for the first time in 35 years of shaving about 2 weeks ago. My Edwin Jagger was sitting on the corner of a towel, I hooked the towel and off it went, in a graceful arc, to the tile floor. Snapped the head right off. I still have about 13 other razors, but I won't be buying zamac razors anymore.
