    I used an old Pumpkin Spice container. Cleaned it and painted the entire container. Turned it upside down and cut a hole for the blades. This will hold a ton of blades and cost me nothing as I already had the container and the paint.
    Works for me.

    I use a small cardboard box one of my razors came in. As soon as I use up all the Tru-Moo chocolate milk mix that's left, I'll switch and use the container from it.

    I've been wondering what to use. These are some good ideas. I remember my dad had an old jar, of dead blades, in the bathroom cabinet for years.

    Big pill container. Next time you're at your local pharmacy ask the pharmacist for one. Cut a slit in the top.

    I used a broth can. I used a dremmel to cut a slit in the top and poured out the broth. Rinsed it, and it was ready for blades.

    I did this too. Except I use a large kitchen knife to punch a slit down through the top

    What about just cutting a slot in the back of your medicine cabinet and let the blades drop behind the wall that's what we used to do

    I've seen several members post pictures of blades found behind counters or in the walls of their new homes :lyrtuy5:

    Nice looking bins. I also use an empty mint tin and that works great.

    Me too. You can't get more secure than that. My first house had the notorious slit in the back of the cabinet. An eventual hazard for someone.

    Nice work. I use an old pill bottle for mine, but like the clean, neutral look of that painted spice container.

    I used an empty cornstarch jar. It is big enough to last forever. The ideas here are really nice. I may have to upgrade from my jar.

    It's big, so it'll hold a bunch o' blades. It smells like chocolate...'nuff said there. It's plastic, so it's waterproof. And there's no kids in the house, so it's safe.
