What do you use for Used Blade Bank?

A common misconception. Chuck Norris has never even touched a razor blade. His beard grows to the perfect length and just stops.

 

Now that is funny.

 

Chuck Norris only gets one shave out of Personna 74s.

 

I think I have a couple of those floating around somewhere....or as "She Who Must be Obeyed" has coined the phrase "Lost for every in the Motorhome" (aka RV) so lovingly named as Hewy! (Baby Huey Cartoons)

 

Excellent point. I should have clarified, the used razor blades of the vanquished.

 

What do you use to glue it shut.....Gorilla Glue or Super Glue?

 

Since I was a kid I've always wondered about those in the medicine cabinet blade slots,how many blades would it actually hold, do electric wires run under the cabinet, how good an idea was it really? If the cabinet is framed in at the bottom you don't have that much space and since you can never clean it out, it seems that eventually you will have metal blades in contact with the medicine cabinet itself..I'm almost 60 years old and I've personally never actually known anyone who claimed to have used one...I.M.O. the best and safest way to dispose of old blades is in a, one time use, disposable container, either one provided with the blades or one you create yourself...It minimizes blade handling and provides for safe future disposal of the blades, by anyone else who may need to handle the blades in the future..

 

My Aunt lives in a house that she and my uncle and Grandfather Built, in the Palms District of Los Angeles. There are two bathrooms in that house. With medicine cabinets that both have the slot in them for razor blades. I just wonder how many razor blades are in the wall in their master bathroom. They built that house in 1938 the year after they were married. I think I need to go on a search and recover mission of my Uncles Razors. My Aunt just turned 97 and she is healthier than a Horse.

 

"She Who Must be Obeyed" gave me a couple of tins to put my used razor blades in.


I figure with the size of these containers, I have enough storage capacity, being as I get 4 to 5 shaves out of each of my DE Blades maybe up until my 99th. Birthday!

 

OK, but what will you do after that?

 

By that time I don't think I would really care......just flush them down the toilet?

 

I use a flip top vitamin bottle.

 

I... don't remember. It was one of those two.

 

LOL

 

I use the slot in the back of my medicine cabinet. Thinking on it now, maybe I shouldn't.

 

Why not? If your medicine cabinet is old enough to have a blade slot, I'm sure there are already hundreds of blades down there. You adding more won't change anything.

 

If you've ever been involved in remodels of older homes, you inevitably will discover the 'dead spaces' in bathroom walls that have for years been used as blade depositories.
The most I've ever seen was nearly 1o00 (!) blades in one old bathroom wall in a home built in the mid-20s...or about 3x what is pictured here. Scary stuff...

 

I cheat and use the pack that my feather blades come in ... there is some little slot in the back ... easy

 

Same here.

 

Quick! Clean those up and get them to eBay as "rare" and "vintage" and "only one previous owner."
