Blade dispenser

Some blades come in a plastic tuck?? i.e. Derby, you can store 15 blades in it

Hi all...I'm looking for a re-usable blade dispenser for travel purposes...something like the old metal ones that Gillette's used to be sold in. Anyone got any ideas where I might obtain one?

I've been ( not actively ) keeping an eye out for one of those, I have a brass blade despenser but it's for Pal blades and is slightly too narrow for DE blades, please let me know if you come across anything to replace these plastic despensers. P.

The only problem with the old Gillette dispensers were that the blades were not in paper wraps like they are today, they were lightly oiled but when the oil dried over time the blades stuck together and you would have to dismantle the whole thing or soak in a light oil for a while.
I would like a dispenser like the plastic ones today only made of a metal so I could retain the paper wraps on the blades. P.

Blademonkey, you are a genius! You reminded me that I have a vintage 1912 Ever Ready in a case that includes a brass blade box...just tried it and got 20 of my Gillette Nacets in it...fits perfectly:

Of course, it doesn't have a specific place for used blades, but putting one in its original wrapper would work...maybe fewer blades and a small cut-to-size piece of card or plastic as a divider might do the trick. Anyway, I'm another step closer to a custom DE travel setup!:cool:
I don't know if that's the sort of thing you've been looking for Blademonkey, but I guess this box would hold Gem's or any standard DE blade, so a 1912 vintage set might be a place to look?
I'm still going to look for alternatives and I'll let you know if I find anything! Thanks again for the inspiration(y)

I will have to look out for some more Gem blade boxes, my brass one is a tad too small and the blades will not go in as easy as I would like but I'm pleased it worked for you! :) happy days! P.

I just did a quick google on 1912 Ever Ready razor sets and there are some out there on eBay etc that include the same or similar blade boxes and not too pricey...you get the razor as well!! Just a suggestion :)
 
I use a small plastic 'clip fasten' plastic box from Muji, can easily get a full tuck of blades in there and i put my used blades at the bottom , underneath the the tuck.
