I am using a jam jar as a blade bank. I would like to get a proper, ornamental one you sometimes see on e bay but the jar will do for now. Plus when its full it will make a great weapon against a home invasion or zombie apocalypse .
I use a Hershey's syrup can that comes with the plastic lid. Just cut a slot in the plastic top and your rockin'. Works great.
Yesterday I bought a coin bank from dollar store and then I covered it with a handmade label. It's not small, I think I can use it for 1-2 years at least. before: after:
Its like you was inside my head =P Because the coin bank is so big I thought about cutting in in the middle and pushing the bottom part into the top part like its a lid =P to shorten in and so it lakes less room. But it's risky hahaha it will be sharp as a knife. If the label is paper you might wanna tape around it to cover it with a layer of tape. That would protect the paper from moist =P just a thought
Yeah cutting it in the middle can be risky it's better to keep it as it is That's right, I used paper as a cover. That's a good idea to cover it around with tape. Thanks for the heads up man Appreciated
As my current generic blade bank is nearly full, it is time to introduce another bank… 'EveryReady— The Razor You Treasure'—at least with this vintage bank, I can remove the lid when full, empty it and reuse the bank. The top states, "For Old blades"—this is in case one is inclined to use it for new blades, I suppose.
Looks good. That shows that it doesn't have to be an ugly can =P but what to do with the blades when full? You'll need something to throw them away in =P hmm.. We'll cross that bridge when it comes
Just make sure it is sealed securely. Someone (such as a member of your household or a trash collector) could get hurt, otherwise.
You could always get yourself a pint or quart sized sharps container from your local pharmacy and empty it in there. Once full you can just take the sharps container to an appropriate disposal location.
I just use the plastic containers some of my blades came in. There is a slot on the bottom to put your used blades in. Once I run out of those I don't know which way I'll choose to dispose of them. Maybe I'll throw the rest of my Derby blades out just for their cases
Been using mine since I started DE/SE/INJ shaving about 5 years ago. House was built in the '50s and I can tell from the time it takes a dropped blade to *clink* that the void isn't nearly full.
As nsomnac mentioned, one can use the medical/hazardous sharps containers from the pharmacies. Having two diabetics in the house, we've no shortages of these containers. Once a blade bin gets full, into the sharps container they go. I could go directly from razor to sharps container, but I prefer NOT to have a big ol' red hazard container in my shaving sanctuary.
The plastic dispenser they came in has a place on the back to put the used ones. When the front is empty and the back is full I throw them out.
