Thread: Disposal of used blades.

that is very cool looking.. how are you liking that frank brush?

The Frank Shaving Brush is Finest Badger with the long handle. I like it better than the Frank Shaving Luxury Silver-tip I bought. But along with the Tweezer Man I started with these are the only 3 brushes I can compare.

I've seen something called a Feather razor blade safe where you put old razor blades in it and throw it out when it's full. It looks like a good product.

Yeah, but I still get a can of soup thrown in for my money.

The used blades are put in the slot in the back of the dispenser and then the whole dispenser is thrown out.

Thanks,

I use a plastic vitamin container that is 2" dia. x 4" high. The top of the lid is hinged so all I have to do is flip it up and drop the blade in, then close it.

Some dispensers have a slot and others do not.
It turns out that the ones with a slot will hold 20-40
blades when the 5-10 new blades are gone.

Since I have blades that do not come with a
container I hold on to the empty dispensers
and fill them as full as they can get.

The point if I have one is that dull DE blades are
still sharp as heck and I make sure that the
trash man and others in the house are well protected from
random cuts and there are numerous tricks
to that end.

An "Altoids" tin works great.

For the sake of those who don't know (namely me), what is an 'Altoids' tin?

Hey, I remember those! Are we telling our age on this?
