Wasn't looking...heard metal hit tile....looked down and saw....

[BowTieGuy]

This morning I was getting ready for work and turned around a bit too quickly; I must have brushed up against the little narrow strip of molding on the wall that holds razors "on display." I heard something hit the floor and looked down expecting disaster.

There she was, on the black and white (hard) ceramic tile.

My beloved GEM G-bar.

Unscathed. Not so much as a scratch, or dent, or misalignment, or flaw of any kind.

Goodness, they knew how to make 'em, didn't they?

If you had to drop one, you picked a good one. The g-bar is simple in design and strongly made. I wouldn't want to drop the TTOs, adjustables, OCs or the 1912s.

Did it break any of the tiles?

Seriously...have you checked the foundation?

One of my cats jumped up on the vanity and knocked my G-Bar onto my big toe, thank goodness I had removed the blade, as I am sure it would have cut me. I hurt bad enough just having that thing slam into my toe from four feet...OUCH!!!

 

[BowTieGuy]

Did I check the foundation? Yes. Luckily I live in a brick house with a post-and-beam frame built in the 1820s, so while there was a shock to the tectonic plates on which we sit, the house itself was fine. Thanks for asking. ; )

I thought I felt a shock this morning. Around 0730 CST?

 

[rxonmymind]

The G meaning forces? Gravity razor?

Lucky you did not loose a toe

I'm not that impressed. I dropped a Gillette Fusion on ceramic tile and it didn't even have a scratch. The only problem was it didn't shave well afterwards, but come to think of it, it didn't shave well before either

I'm surprised your neighbors didn't feel a rumble. My favorite SE honestly.

And it wouldn't break your toe if it hit it either! I think all of y'all should send me your vintage razors and start using Fusions, just to protect your toes!
