A bit like when you're riding a bike and you shouldn't look at an obstacle you want to miss!Funnily enough, you're kinda safest when you're not looking! Do it by feel.

Vintage razors are a great idea.
I wouldn't mind a vintage straight razor and then I wouldn't even have to throw away blades. But I'm a bit scared to shave my whole head with a straight razor haha.
And yes, I agree about all the other products that I need to live being a much worse and bigger problem.
Does anyone have experience with Lord razor blades? I was thinking of getting Lord Super Chrome blades next time, but I can't tell if there's any plastic packaging.

I've heard people in the US say this, but in the UK, a lot of our recycling is sorted by hand. I realise that the blades start off in the blade bank, but through the process does anyone know if this is safe for the workers at a recycling facility?Not been thinking too hard about this have we?
Make a blade bank out of something steel (a can), once full enter the lot into the local recycling stream.
Shaving Blade Disposal Bank | Enviroli
This metal Shaving Blade Disposal Bank is the perfect place to keep your used razor blades. Once you've finished with your razor blades, place them in the slot, keep them safe and then once the bank is full (which will take a very long time - it's a very big tin), just recycle the bank and...enviroli.co.uk
I write 'used blades' on mine to make it clear what's insideThe hand sorting I've seen is earlier in in the process to be fair, separating cardboard from metal from nappies (seriously) to see what can and can't be recycled. If the can is sealed with only a slot, how can they be sure what's inside? From the sound, I guess they can be pretty sure that it doesn't contain mushrooms, but could be metal, some types of plastic perhaps or a mix of different things?

Another good option is the tins of coffee - it's easy to cut a slot in the plastic lidI was rummaging in the kitchen larder for something and came across some small tins of condense milk from a well-known manufacturer. Me thinks, this is perfect for a blade bank! One normally just pierces the top to dispense the milk. So once empty you could use a can opener to create a slot just big enough to receive used blades. Rinsing out the can will a bit of a faff but it cost you nothing.....
