Paper or Plastic?

[Wogus]

I like taking my new, unused DE blades out the all-too-common cardboard tucks and putting them into the less common plastic boxes. Each of the plastic boxes I have holds ten blades so there's less clutter, generally speaking and I really like how they spit out blades... Like a Pez dispenser! Of course transferring blades from paper to plastic takes a few minutes but that doesn't really bother me.

I suppose I'm alone in this?

Ahhh... That's better!​

I could definitely see doing this for travelling/vacations.

I still prefer paper

I like the plastic tucks with the slot in the rear for old blade disposal. Looks like most manufacturers are moving to the paper tucks for cost and environmental reasons. Figured out how to use both sides of the plastic tuck box for disposal of 30-35 old blades given I've currently a mix of both tuck types. Just tape up when full and place in a local sharps disposal station.

I don't think the plastic tucks I have allow for that... Now I feel cheated.

You’re not alone in doing that. I transfer any blades that come in the flimsy paper tucks to the plastic ones

Well I do not care about packaging, paper is fine, or plastic.

+1! Yep! For me it is all about the blades not the packaging! But what do I know?

Brilliant! I have been trying to think of a way to keep track of my blade rotation without alot of trouble. Right now I have about 6 tucks in an old Barbisol shave cream jar, after about 3 blades I can't remember the first. This will keep them stacked in an order I can't screw up

It's not really about the packaging vs. the blade for me, either; it's about keeping my preferred blades, which happen to come in paper, stored more conveniently and in half as many containers. Containers that disburse blades... Like a Pez dispenser. I really can't emphasize the last part too strongly.

I like to put the blades in my hand-decorated metal box.

When I saw the thread title I thought I was in the grocery check out lane! They always ask, paper or plastic?

As far as DE blades, it makes no never mind where they are to me.
