Title: Cut throat razors
Post by: manicscousers on October 28, 2011, 08:41:26
How do we dispose of them. Still clearing Ray's dad's old stuff, I know, it's over 12 months but you wouldn't believe how much there is  :o
We took out another box yesterday (said shredder on the box). It has 5 cut throat razors in, along with old shower heads. How do we get rid, I don't feel right putting them in an ordinary bin. Advice, please  :)

You could wait until theres a weapons amnesty in your area ;D
Seriously I would think that your local recycling plant (tip) would have a place for them

I waited for an amnesty to get rid of some old kitchen knives, I might hold on to these until the next. Thanks, pansy  :)

Some people do actually collect old razors etc. bung them on ebay. A barbershop might even have them for decoration. They like all the retro look nowadays. I had a special pocket in my drape jacket when I was a yoof, that was for the use of ;D

OH..they are sooo useful things when sharp.. ;) If you don't fancy sharpening them and doing some sharp bikini lines..like ACE said, there is plenty of collectors for those things.
OR..you could use them in GH for cuttings.. ;)
I've always fancied one with nice 'pearly' handle...but they are pricey. I've got one that unfortunately is redundant at the moment as I'm without new sharpening belt...no wonder my shaving is not up to scratch without proper tools.. :-X ;) ;D

If it is for gardening work one of these will soon put an edge on it. I have one hung on a chain in my van, (lost a few) for knives, secataurs, clippers etc. Lasts for years.  Diamond sharpener. A nice little stocking filler if you want to give her diamonds for crimbo. ;)

 ;D..supposed some of my 'bikini lines' could be called 'gardening work'... ;D ;D :-X
But I think for my delicate skin belt would provide smoother blade action.. ;)

oh..and..yep..I've got some 'diamonds'.. ;) Pencil shaped diamond sharpener that clips on your pocket like a pen. The 'stone' bit pulls out from the pen-like cartridge whe used..very handy and brilliant with secateurs.

I've got a nice sharp razor if you want any help, ;) with my flair for garden design I expect we could work out something artistic as long as you do not mind having my advert tattooed somewhere nearby. ;)

Do you know I was thinking of you and Yvonne when I was looking at the pictures of the gardens for children with short life expectancy on our appeal thread.With her love of colour and warmth she would create a wonderful garden for those kids. :)
