Tile floor + carelessness = sadness

Looks like someone is in for a new custom handle.
You've got a nice knot to work with and you should be able to remove it without damaging it.
Sounds like a win win to me

Can you extract the knot? All might not be lost.

Good points above. Just feel stupid for dropping it. Going to skip this evening's shave. It was not expensive or rare, or a keepsake or anything, but a good little trooper just the same. I have some others that it would have been more tragic to break. If the glue works, maybe I'll keep using it and try to see it as a reminder to be careful.

Gorilla Glue....of course. (every commercial.)
Superglue will work. If you don't want to look at the crack, just repaint that handle if you don't mind losing the Omega logo. I had one like that once that I considered throwing away but I decided to use it to "practice" repairs on.
I used Superglue to fix the problem. I used a little Spackle to have something to put over the repair to be able to sand and then I used a can of spray paint meant for plastic (comes with an adhesive primer built-in) to spray the handle.
It's not fancy but it works fine.
Do you know anybody that can do kintsukuroi (Japanese - "golden repair")?
That would be cool, but I'm not sure that the handle or knot would survive the process.
Expensive too, I bet.
Ooh, wait. I bet you can get a shiny gold-coloured epoxy for something like this.

Better to drop a brush than a razor
... Rudy's fixer, of course!
Sorry it dropped & broke. That pain in the gut feeling is not pleasant.
Sorry for you that happened. In my mind the brush is more about the knot than the handle. Get a new handle from Whipped Dog... get a tube of epoxy and you are back in business.
They are $13 or $14 at West coast.

Thanks everyone. All good points, especially considering how easily replaceable and inexpensive it is. I tried some superglue and I bet it will be just fine- and a reminder to be more careful- and not to get attached to material things.
Looks fine now. Good job on the glue repair.
awesome!
