Show us your blade banks

Presumably DE blades are recyclable, if you can get past the biohazard angle? Seems mad that quite a lot of people have half a pound of blade steel kicking around waiting to be binned. What happens to old DE (etc) blades? Surely not the same fate as cartridges?

I have this - after 4 years of shaving, I would say there's room for another 6 - minimum...

That's why I store them in a metal tin. It can all go to metal recycling at the tip

I use an old jam jar, then decant periodically in to sharps disposal at work - small perk of working for NHS I suppose!

Here's my blade bank, about 4-5 years worth of blades.

Boiled pear sweet tin from Lidl.

Other flavours are available. The Lemon one is ok, but I preferred the Cherry one.

If you put them in a metal container you should be able to put them out with your tins and stuff in your recycling, it will be melted down to make who knows what!

How many blades you reckon you got in there at a guesstimate?

We should do a little guessing game on the forum, whoever guesses the right amount of blades, gets a prize would be fun lol

I need to change mine to a metal tin tbh as the only thing I had to hand was a glass jar left so just needed something asap to keep away from the kids

I use a metal tin money bank.

I needed the tub to store my Hampfat number 3!

Does the soup not spill out as the tin fills up?.

Probably a few hundred?

The good thing about my sweet tin blade bank is it could be kept out of harm pretty easily, if you wanted to keep it away from the kids.

Ha ha ha ha......No! It is an empty soup can and now contains only used blades. ,
