    I use a coffee tin. Holds a lot and don't have to worry about disposal for a while. Duct tape when full. :)

    I just thought of this yesterday. I've always got K-cups on hand and I decided to try to find uses for the empty ones. This takes 5-10 minutes to make and should hold a pretty good number of blades before I have to toss it and make another one.

    I've seen "worse" things sell on eBay for $5 :)

    Nice.

    I believe there was a beer can with a slit in it. Sold as a razor disposal unit. They sold several for 3-4 dollars each if memory serves me right.
    P.T. Barnum was right :D

    When I saw them I did laugh. They were also sold on amazon. The ones on the bay were from some guy in Texas or Arkansas

    I like the idea of recycling my blades. The environmental aspect of wet shaving is attractive to me.

    so here's what I do. I buy a tin of Altoid minis. I enjoy the mints.

    After that, when a blade is ready to go, I open the tin and place it inside. It will hold a bunch of blades. When it is full, it snaps shut securely. The entire thing can be placed into the recycling bin.

    Or stick 'em in apples and hand them out at Halloween.:scared001:

    ...and I'm probably going to hell for writing that.

    Yeah, that's not really a cool accusation to make, you know? No need to bring your sick fantasies into my life, okay?

    It was more along the lines of "this would be an equally absurd thing to do."

    I didn't mean to imply that you would stick razor blades in apples and hand them out to kids. Anyone who actually does that needs to go to prison for a very long time.

    I think what you don't understand is that swallowing razor blades is actually a trick I know how to do and have performed. So, not quite the 'equally absurd' thing to do. I'm also a personal friend and big supporter of the charity Scares that Cares, which is a Halloween/Horror movie based charity for children. So maybe you can see how your comments have made me have to defend and explain all of this now. Because something that I would otherwise let pass in the real world as an ignorant comment, I now have to refute as it's in a very public forum.

    Very cool. I've heard of that trick, but never seen it performed. You must be very popular at parties!

    For the other 99.99% of us on the forum, swallowing razor blades would land us in the ER, followed by court ordered counseling.

    I dremeled a slot in the top door before realizing the small door is just right for DE or SE blades. Should take about a year's worth of blades, if one goes through a blade a week.

    Excellent gum, too. Just like real JF.
