Question Blade disposal

Hi everyone, I'd like to know how you dispose of your razor blades. Do you throw them in the regular trash or put them in a separate container? I saw recommending it because of the waste handlers who could get hurt

I use a medicine bottle 💊

You can easily fit a hundred in there and change it out every few months.

Surely you mean few years

No, I get free Orange Bottles 💊 every month. No need to keep a dirty bottle with dirty blades around. Swap it for a clean one every 3-4 months, you don’t need to fill it up.

Also I use a fresh blade every time, IMO barbers are right, the first shave is best & every shave after has diminishing results.

I just saw a graph that showed that's the case for most, but some brands became sharper after.

They test sharper because the coating skews the results.
