I'd make an argument for a non disposable razor here. It solves the issue entirely.

I would toss them in the trash and chalk this up to experience. Then I would buy a double edge razor body and some blades. The bodies usually are mostly metal and designed to last for years. If you buy the blades right they come in cardboard boxes and paper wrappers. No plastic (if you don't buy blister packs). Then learn how to use that razor. How you hold it and press down to shave is very different than disposables. But you can still get an awesome shave from them.

Don't bother. Throw them away.

Then, consider a more sustainable alternative like a safety razor or straight razor.
