blade storage

[Steve Bowles]

I only use three brands, and they all go into a Tupperware container (in their original boxes); if you're thinking of having bare blades sitting around, I'd advise against it.

Used ones go in a money box. But I've downloaded one to print 3d.

What do you do with them once the money box is full?

Last time I put it in a tin and bunged it out with the recycling, it's a steel money box with steel inside should melt down nicely. Probably not what they would like you doing but better than putting it in the bin.

I saw something on etsy by a maker called the frugal shave (or shaver), it's a 3d printed holder that takes 100 blades in their wrapper. I think I'll take a punt on it in the New Year when the shop re-opens. Neater than a stack of several packs in the corner

I don't suppose if you can find it again can you please post a link

I have a large metal container (originally baby formula from Arla) that I use for large quantities and then I have a small metal tin (originally sore throat drops) for sample blades and the blade pack I currently use. Nothing fancy.

You must improvise. Check a container store that sells all sorts of mini to large plastic type containers. I have my stash in some small wooden boxes I picked up at one. I also use small baby food containers (empty contents) to store blades in my medicine cabinet.

I will do that and find a suitable plastic container for now. But in the long term I would like to find something a little more elegant

Same here.

its hard to find an elegant way to store razor blades unless you purchase perhaps an antique side board and display your blades as if they were a 300 year old Chinese dinner service.

 

[Steve Bowles]

Is this elegant enough?

 

[Steve Bowles]

Oops, sorry. I thought you were interested in storing used blades. Just throw them into a Tupperware container.

This is my "elegant" solution for storing fresh blades in the bathroom. The bulk of them are stored elsewhere in a box in another room.

This moneybox below is where I store used blades in the bathroom cabinet. I think it's elegant too (for a bladebank)

I use a 1300 peli case with silica packs, holds around 2500 blades +/- a little over the top maybe but blades will stay dry whatever happens!
