Disposing of used double edged safety razor blades

It's no wonder he croaked!

 

Actually, that frog blade bank is pretty awesome! I'm guessing it's an antique?
I doubt you could find anything like that today.

 

Here's my blade bank.

 

* grumble grumble grumble *.... darn puns ... *grumble grumble grumble * ... wish I thought of it.

 

i use the Em's Place blade bank too.
so far i've put about 100 blades into it and still can fit more...but its getting towards the top.

 

the price they're asking for this on eBay seems rather cruel

 

This.
I even put a coat of paint on mine to make it look better than a crappy can with a slot in it under the cabinet.

 

It's not easy being green.

 

$54.99 for the frog, when you can get the pig for half that.

If you're patient, the may have a penguin for dirt cheap.

 

^ I see what you did there. <glare>

I second this, once you have used the blades that was once in the dispenser just simply throw it away. Easy.

 

After scouring eBay several times for the perfect vintage coin bank, I found this little novelty toolbox for a couple bucks in the checkout line at Harbor Freight. Works great.

 

I use a half pound size antique Molle brushless shaving cream jar that has a screw on lid. Haven't filled it up yet.

 

I have seen several varieties of old cans in Antique shops, and I am considering snagging a few and seeing how they'd work as blade banks.

Retro Cool....

 

I current use old Eclipse mint tins.

Not pretty but practical and free

 

I printed a decent looking, colorful sheet saying "Used Blades" and wrapped it around a soda pop can and taped it on. Simply put the used blades into the can through the normal opening that you pour the soda out of. When it gets full, which will probably be long after I'm gone, simply tape over the opening and recycle the whole thing.

I us an empty Lyle's Golden Syrup tin. It will probably take some ages to get it filled to the top, but by then I may have emptied another one...

 

What always surprises me is how heavy (relatively speaking) a full blade bank can be seeing how little a blade weighs.

 

Think about that the next time you lift a case of paper.

 

One handed, five times, before breakfast. * flex *
