Proper Disposal

I am using mine to build a statue in the back yard. I lay a just-discarded blade on the stack, and wait for it to rust in position and bond with the other rusted razors. Since the thickness of one blade is just 0.10mm (0.004”
, it takes a long time to make a statue of any size. If I discard two blades a week, it will take 5,000 weeks of shaving to make a stack of blades one meter tall. I am going a modern art statue, so will need more than one blade for each layer.
This is going to take some time. Maybe this should be a community project.
Now all I have to do is to keep the neighborhood crows from stealing the last blades before they rust into position. They just love shiny objects. I think they use them to cut up the chipmunks they catch.

I think if you use some real old Gillette Blues the crows might not be able to spot them.
I cannot vouch for racoons, however.
Blade bank for the win! My home was built in 1890, but the bathrooms have all been remodeled, so I don't have a magic disappearing blade hole. If it were I who were remodeling, I'd have installed one for sure. I guess a quick swipe with the jigsaw would do the trick though! 
Hey DavyRay, If you want some of those Blues I can probably get a bunch for you!
