How do you dispose of used blades

[nick_s]

I use the little plastic tucks that come with some blades (Feather, Derby, Wilkinson Sword etc). They hold approximately 20 blades or so, and I have a plentiful supply. When full, I dispose accordingly.

Buy a can of Chicken or Beef broth. Do not open. Cut a small slit in the top and drain liquid, rinse. You now have a sealed can for safe blade disposal. You can spray paint or decorate the can if you desire.

I have been using this money box for five years... must be halfway now... and I shave every day.

Around €0.80...

Which razor did you use that blade in?

Which razor did you use that blade in?

The fake fake future clone one, bit rough, it has a very similar feel to a Voskhod blade

I chuck my used blades in a cheap metal tin. When its full , do I just throw the entire tin into the bin? are there any extra safety measures that I should follow?

Hammer it closed, I use a Tate & Lyle tin and hammer the lid flat so it won't pop off scattering blades all over the bin.

I currently use the Plastic blade banks you get Like the feathers and derbys come in etc but I am going to invest in a nice traditional looking blade bank.

Cheap plastic money box off the bay. It cost a quid and will probably hold a thousand blades.

Sew them under your lapels and the peak of your cap.

Sharps bin I got from my pharmacy for £6. It'll hold about 50 years' worth.

You should be ashamed of yourself!

I use an empty Vitamin D pill bottle and I'm fairly sure it will hold a few years worth of blades.

I just snap them in half, wrap them in tissue and put in the bin. Blade banks are expensive and I can't be bothered to sod about draining fruit tins.

Currently using an old mint sauce jar...though I am sure apple sauce would be just as effective. When full ....into a sharps box it will go!
