    Up to now I didn't have a proper vault for used blades. I just put them aside thinking: "I'll make me one later on". This morning, however, I used the last of our tin of Lyle's Golden Syrup (heavenly taste BTW). And then it dawned upon me that I could use it for a vault. After cleaning the last of the stickyness out I just made a slit in the lid. Ready! As it is a reasonably large tin, I guess it will cost me a lifetime to fill it to the brim! ;)

    Have a Med Cabinet with a Blade Slit in the back of it. The wall hasn't filled since 1927!(;-).

    Hope no one ever needs to get into the wall for repairs. :signs136:

    I have an old salsa jar I cleaned out and glued the lid on and then made a slit in but since we moved, I now have a med icne cabinet with a slit in it that I use. Its all I can do to keep from wanting to just keep feeding blades in that hing. It was MADE for us! :D

    Nicely done and cool looking too. But, um, I think you need some bacon to go with that syrup. :D

    blanka I will not eat my shaving products. Promise.

    I sold an old house to a rehabber recently who called me a few weeks after purchasing and asked why he fould a bunch of old razor blades in the bathroom wall. I think he got a much more detailed explanation from me than he was looking for, lol!

    No offense to anyone on here, but I actually find the idea of posting used blades in the wall pretty irresponsible - just my opinion mind.

    Biggest blade bank I've ever seen..and yes classy too. It'll hold so many blades, I think your grand children will putting their blades into it!
