Does anyone use them? I'm traveling with a DE this week, and plan to dispose of the blade in that slot before packing the kit up for the return trip. Does this seem reasonable?

That is what they're for, so why not use it?
Seems perfectly reasonable UNLESS TRAVELING BY AIR and you have the pack in carry-on. By car? No reason not to.
Yes, I use it at home and when traveling. If you're staying in a hotel, the housekeeping staff will be very happy that you don't put exposed DE blades in their wastebaskets. They're not accustomed to people doing that and you don't want to be responsible for someone getting cut, even if it's not really your fault.
...in fact, the same applies if you're staying anywhere where the people who you're around aren't accustomed to exposed blades in their bathroom wastebaskets.

Thanks, I'm checking bags so as not to worry about TSA concerns. I also did not want to put housekeeping staff at risk. Most people look at me cross-eyed when I mention a DE, so they probably don't see them much.
Yes, I use mine. They can actually fit a large amount of blades, too--far more than just the blades that came in the pack itself.
for clueing me in as to what to do with used blades.
I was just throwing them in the trash.

i had only 1 used blade in there and it managed to slip out into small cup/basket i keep the blade packages in...
I put all my old blades in an Altoids mint tin. Then the tin and blades can go into the ferrous metals recycling together.
+1 although I put mine in a emptied and cleaned out chicken broth can, so I'll probably have this blade safe when I die!
