Geofatboy has posted and YouTube video of him making and cheap blade bank out of an old Feather blade box. Not bad I think, trumps my TicTac box
Cheap Blade Bank

Blade banks from WCS are also a good option:
This is my 2nd one since I came back to DE in 2014.

This seems a hot topic lately
I made mine from a small empty Mentholatum (Vicks) jar. Cut an opening in the lid.
I just use the plastic ones that new blades are sold in. You can put like 50 more or blades in them, I think some of you are really over complicating this process.
Mine come in
Empty bottle of mouth wash. Just cut a slot in it and sealed the lid. Works great.
I just have an empty beer can under the sink. Take a towel and break the blade in half and drop it in. I know, its redneck but I can create as many blade holders as you need!
If it wasn't redneck, that put it way over the line
Any empty Gatorade plastic bottle with a lid should do the trick.
LOL! True, just trying to save a bro some money. If it's under the sink nobody knows!If it wasn't redneck, that put it way over the line
Pill bottle. It has a safety cap and can hold plenty.
Saw Geo's video and its a great idea. Its not really helpful though if you dont buy blades that come in their own box and even then its kind of unneccesary because if your blade do come in their own box, you can just put them back in the used blade slot and recycle the box when its empty.
What a stupid video! The slots are already there so no adaption necessary. Just slide the old blades in as I have been doing for many years. Derby Extra and Wilkinson also use those type of boxes.

altoid tin is a fantastic ideaThis seems a hot topic lately
i use the feather plastic bank and had occasion to empty it recently. I put the contents in an empty jam jar and taped the lid shut only after i tossed it i thought about a glass jar in the trash might not be such a great idea but it was too late. I won't do that again but wil use the altoid box
I use a round plastic container used to store sauces in takeouts. Then I cut a slit on top and tape the lid to the container. Been using since 2017 and still not even half full.
I have a similar shaped Trader Joe's mint can. My caution is that one may want to paint the bottom edge with finger nail polish or something to help protect it from rusting if/when it ever gets wet.
Punctured a soup can with a big kitchen knife. Made sure it was a thin, watery soup so I could rinse it though the slot. 4 years of use and not even half full. Should be able to just toss it in the trash.
