Just the tip

[Tomorrow]

So I was back at the house after nearly a week away for the Thanksgiving holiday. Picture if you will:

This morning, getting ready for work, you step into the shower with a brush, tub of cream, and your trusty EJ DE89L. You place the razor on the hooks hanging from the tile-mounted mirror, start the water, and start washing your hair.

With your eyes closed, you feel your elbow bump the handle of the razor hanging on the hooks. VERY shortly afterward, you felt the razor hit your toe.

Those who have one of these razors know there's a good amount of heft to them; one falling from about 5 1/2 feet and hitting you squarely on your toe hurts.

Then, with your eyes still closed and shampoo running down your face, you remember it's a razor. You start thinking, "Please don't let it be cut; please don't let it be cut; please don't let it be cut."

Then you feel that telltale burn, look down, and see the aftermath washing down the shower drain.

Yes, gentlemen, I managed to remove the very tip of my toe this morning. How is everyone else's first day back from Thanksgiving?

Auwtch that must hurt. Hope it heals quick and that your razor is fine to.

 

[celestino]

Wow, that is very unfortunate! Good luck with recuperating!

 

[konijntjesbroek]

Hope it all heals well.

 

[DICE]

Is the razor ok!?

 

[Motorcity7.3]

Tomorrow,i wish you speedy healing. I can't even imagine that feeling, eyes closed and you can almost hear the dang thing falling to your feet.

 

[JoshuaNY]

Sorry to hear about your toe, hope it heels quickly. I think I would just be happy it wasn't another tip cut off

 

[Alpine Dad]

One more reason why I will never shave in the shower. Good luck healing.

Cheers

I had my car broken into outside of my job. I lost the side window, a gps and a Springfield XD .40. Friday sucked. Sunday I went to church with my girl then spent the day with her family, completely forgetting about friday.

 

[NexlevMM]

Ouch! Goodness that sounds painful. Heal quickly please!

Wow! I am very sorry to hear about that.

 

[Vivasanti]

sad!

hanging a razor on hooks in the shower is a tad silly in my eyes, hope it heals well.

 

[Papachabre]

I thought I had a rough day, but I didn't lose any part of my body so I guess it wasn't too bad. Hope you heal up soon.

 

[dpmtherrien]

Sorry to hear, good luck on the recoup.

 

[OldSaw]

Is the razor ok!?

That's what I was wondering.

Oh, and there's a lot worse things than toes that could have been cut. I think I'll stick with using the sink and keeping a thick bath towel tightly wrapped about my waist.

+1 this is highly reccomended!

 

[the_edski]

+2! Have a quick recovery, sir!

That's what I was wondering.

[DevinLT1966]

And I bet the first thing out of your mouth was "oh, darn". Hope you have a speedy recovery.

I thought this thread was going in a different direction.

Perspective. I'm sorry to hear - it makes my problem seem small by comparison.

hanging a razor on hooks in the shower is a tad silly in my eyes,

Yeah, I probably won't be doing that again. Hindsight, and all.

Oh, and there's a lot worse things than toes that could have been cut.

That thought never crossed my mind until I read it!!

For those wondering, I'm happy to report that the razor was just fine.
