I too like the PVC pipe idea. Maybe not the most eco friendly, but I'm the kind of person that tries to reuse anything I can. I'd find a use for a small section of PVC pipe if I received a razor packed inside it.

i have to agree the pvc sounds like the best way to go but i thinki would go a step further and wrap the razor in bubble wrap and put pvc caps on the tube just to remove any doubt
Definitely wrap the razor in bubble wrap before you push it into the tube. You don't want the razor bouncing around inside the tube. A friend of mine in Portland ships pens in PVC tubes with the caps, just pushed on without the glue. Taping the ends works just as well, though. Some folks glue a cap on one end and leave the other end cap a push fit. I don't like this as much because it can be hard to get the bubble-wrapped pen out of the tube. If both ends are open, you just push it out with your finger.

Not my idea, I have to thank KenRup for this one..........
Maybe not as inexpensive as the pvc pipe, but just wrap the razor in wax paper and insert in a plastic toothbrush holder / case, 59 cents at Wal-Mart. After that just use common sense in a small priority box or even in a padded envelope.
Yup, then it would be bullet proof. If I was a custom razor maker selling razors for hundreds and hundreds of dollars, I would want to ship my razors exactly as you've suggested here. That's only a few bucks in packaging materials cost but think of the protection. Just as long as the USPS wouldn't somehow X-ray the box and think there was some sort of explosive wrapped up in that piece of pipe rather than a wicked sharp razor.

Green problems with plumbing type pipe??:confused:
Get you some bamboo shoots. Might even work in the house for getting water from hither to thither.:bow
