I wish I dropped it on my foot.

[drathgeb]

Probably would have hurt less. Dropped my Dovo Renaissance when getting ready to strop it. It didn't even look like it opened but there appears to be a chip in the blade. Under a loupe it doesn't appear to be cracked but it is a bit wavy around the chip. How bad is it?

 

[Wid]

It'll hone out.

It'll hone out.

Generous offer Rick!

Generous offer Rick!

I said It'll hone out not that I would hone it. But I suppose I could.

 

[drathgeb]

My honing skills have improved since you guys sold me on this shaving madness a year ago but have never fixed any real problems. If you would be willing please let me know what it will cost. I just feel like with it being stainless steel that it might have warped or something.

 

[Wid]

It should not pose a problem, just hone past the bad spot. I would tape it to eliminate wear on the spine.

If you're not comfortable doing it send me a pm. I'll do it for free, you pay postage both ways.

I will hone it for free but if I break it you're getting a Gold Dollar (the Chinese razor not a real gold dollar). j/k



I have had similar razors in the past and I honed them on lower grit to fix the problem. Send me a PM I'll be happy to take a look.

 

[cleanshaved]

glad it did not drop on your foot. Always... ALWAYS let sharp objects fall and step back.
I have also dropped a razor when opening to strop, so fell your pain.
good to see the only damage done can be honed out.

Nice offer Rick & Noah

 

[drathgeb]

Ooo, now the delema of who puts the best edge on a razor...

 

[Giant Kiwi]

Haha. Talk about volunteered.

Just like the army,
YOU will be my volunteer.
Lucky it wasn't dropped on the tap.

 

[Disburden]

You got lucky, that chip isn't bad at all.

"It'll " be honed. Lol

 

[paco664]

Haha. Talk about volunteered.

thats "voluntold".....

 

[global_dev]

you know, i was thinking one of those gel mats used in kitchens would probably a good idea under some key areas (like around the sink or strop area), but a fully padded room would likely be better for some of us...

 

[Firewalker]

The wife just bought me a "memory foam" mat from COSTCO last month when I started shaving with straights. She thought about me dropping one and didn't even ask me about it before she bought it. What a gal! Best thing is that it is really warm and cushions my feet. It was about $20.00 and was for my birthday.

Cheers!

 

[drathgeb]

I am generally a pretty clumsy person but really turn up my focus when a razor or FP is in my hand. I couldn't believe it; seemed to literally jump out of my hand for no appearant reason. I might need to look into some of the foam mats. I could even do the walls with them. I haven't dropped anything on the ceiling... yet

 

[Seraphim]

Those Rensissance razors are super nice. They take a keen, smooth edge, and the rounded heel and roundpoint make for an easy to wield razor.
