Help.

Good evening all and apologies if this has been asked before,i have some Gillette Bleue extra blades,but how the hell do you get them out the container,i have to poke and prod then end up levering them out with my razor,any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You should see an arrow on the blade inside the holder - push it in the direction it is pointing and that should work - it does for me anyway

Exactly as Trueman says, with two possible flies in your ointment:

1. The oil on the blades has a tendency to become slightly tacky over time, so what was a simple push with the thumb 10 years ago probably needs a bit more oomph now.
2. Sometimes the exit aperture on the end of the blade holder isn't in quite the right place for the blade to make good it's escape.

Worst case though you can slide a thumbnail into the underside edge and lift off the whole top of the dispenser and remove the blades that way individually.

Thank you both,i think it may be a case of the oil going tacky as the blades appear to be stuck together,will persevere with both suggestions as i do like these blades.

Brute force. I struggled to get a blade out of my first pack of these. I found if you put an old blade into the slot on the back it helps line the new one up with the slot.

Push the blades toward the direction of the arrows but I would use a small towel or piece of TP incase you get cut..I thought I almost did!..
