Nice job, I just throw my blades in a small coin box that's got cartoon pirates on it and is branded with Darrell Lea that i found from a little marketplace for $2.

Or you can get any size money box tin straight from the Reject Shop and it look like this below, and it a prefect way to disposed you're DE blades safely and the great news is you can't open it without can opener

@saku39 and it so bloody cheap and if you get a very large size of a bucket it might take you at least 10 years or more for you're DE blade to reach a full tank

I like it, it's neat.
Yes it is. Many, (all?) plastic blade boxes have an opening at the back for inserting used blades.

I'm told you can at least fit 15 or 20 disposal DE blades at the back of the inserting very nicely as long as you keep saving the plastic blade boxes throughout you're shaves

Oh for sure. The boxes are made for supplying 10, so you can get at least 10 in there, but more usually. Handy for when using a blade from a cardboard box.

There's a better reason to use a dedicated metal blade bank - recycling. Easier and simpler to recycle than plastic boxes with metal in them ending up as landfill.
You can store it in another room rather than a bathroom. I mean, very few of us can actually fit all our shave gear in the bathroom anyway...

Well to be completely honest I can't fit all my shaving in the small bathroom at all because it in my bedroom it has no where else to go............sh#t

The back of blade boxes fill up too quick. I've been buying the Feather blade banks from Menbiz. $8 and I only need to buy one every 8-10 months. They take a shitload of blades and take up no space, they're very small but just keep taking blades.
But the reject shop ones are a bit more fun in the bathroom. But they will take a long time to fill up. Get a small one. it'll probably last 3+ years...

I've got one that looks like an Aussie fifty dollar note! The good thing is my wife found it in the bathroom cupboard and thought she had stumbled across my cunning kick!!!
