If you bake bread you can use them to slice the tops of the loaves before baking.
lol - The only thing I use old blades for is to scrape the glue off freshly unwrapped blades. Thanks for the ideas guys, now I'm off to make a sickle....
If you scrap the glue off, how do you keep them from falling out???(;-)!
I've lived in my old house for over 30 years but I didn't notice something until yesterday.
In my medicine cabinet I noticed a sticker in the back of it. I looked closer and there was a small slot below it. The sticker says "Razor Blades".
You just dump the old blades inside the WALL? What the hell?
Lol. I guess you need to drop one in to see how full it is. :DQuote:

He's probably dead. :)
Yeah, I remodeled a bathroom with one of those slots. There was a whole wad of rusted blades behind the wall. There was lots of room for more. The wifey won't let me cut a slot in our medicine chest. Too bad.Quote:

That is the ultimate in blade banks! It was the solution that our grandfathers came up with to dispose of used blades. You'll die before you fill that space in your wall. Most people discover 100's of rusted blades when they do a down to the studs bathroom remodel. Enjoy it while you have it.Quote:

Knowing my luck the medicine cabinet wall would be the only wall that still had the old knob & tube wiring and the stack of worn blades would short the wires out and burn my house down.
