I've lived in apts that had the slot in the back of the medicine cabinet to dump blades. Showing my age.

have a vintage blade bank and a newer one that I got as a free gift when I ordered a shaving brush. Leisure Guy, IIRC, posted some years ago, to take a can of evaporated milk, or whatever, cut a slit and use the contents, slip the blades in the slit. Once the can is full, solder the slit closed and throw in the trash.

My medicine cabinet has the slot that I shove most of mine into. If I'm traveling ill bring a pack of feathers with me and use their disposal section on the container. Now I have found myself in a few situations where these options were not available and I improvised. Wrap blade with TP, then with electrical tape and throw it in the trash can.

If I am at home I just throw them into the bin in the bathroom if I am away I wrap them in the raper I took the new blade out of and toss them into the bin as well.

I have never cut myself or know of a razor cutting anyone else.


I'd like a hole in the wall to put used blades.

Here's another vote for using the slot on the base of a pack of DE blades.
