    Don't you worry about the shipping.

    This way, you'll have something different, with an Australian flavour.

    If it'll make you feel better, you can send me a little gift back, but it's not necessary.

    The offer is there.

    I use one of those Feather banks I got on Amazon. Here's my question, though. I know DE blades are recyclable. Does anyone recycle them, and if so, how? I don't want to bust open the bank and just dump them in the recycle bin when it's full, which seems kind of dangerous. How do you do it?

    We dispose of ours by putin them in an Altoid tin. When it is full, we tape it shut, label it, and put the whole thing in the recycling bin.

    Good idea. I'm thinking a pipe tobacco tin would work just as well. Definatelly better than just dumping the plastic thing into the bin for sure.

    I use an Altoids tin. Cut a slot near one end just big enough for the blade and epoxied the lid shut so it doesn't accidentally open. Tin is metal, blades are metal, all recyclable in one place.

    A plastic tub that once held bath crystals. The lid has a flip open top which makes for easy blade disposal. I plan on tossing the entire thing once full

    A tin with a slot cut into it. Dispose of the tin when full.

    I put all the wintergreen into the cinnamon tin, mixed, so I could do this.

    I have a little plastic razor bank. But there is also a disposal in my medicine cabinet that I used to throw my blades into

    every month i get a new bottle of horse pills from the pharmacy so the old see threw bottle with a new slit in the lid becomes my 30 day bank. being able to see the razors and gluing on the lid helps me not swallow them in the morning with the other pills.

    I use an empty instant coffee container and once its full wrap the lid in duct tape and throw it in the recycling bin. Lasts 4-6 months before getting full or longer if I get a bigger container.
