Blade Bank
Blade Bank
Description
Description
A used blade is still sharp, and the bathroom bin is no place for it. The blade bank takes each spent blade through a slot in the top and holds around a hundred; years of shaving for most. Full, it seals shut for safe disposal.
Solid, small, and the kind of object you stop thinking about, which is the point.

20 DE Blades
Double edge razor blades in Swedish Cr13 steel, with a platinum-sputtered coating and no PTFE. A 13N edge; keen enough to cut cleanly, gentle enough for sensitive skin. One blade cuts level with the skin, not below it, which is where ingrown hairs start.
Packs run from five to fifty. Each blade is double sided, individually wrapped. They fit all Kronos razors and any standard double edge razor.
Aegean Citrus Aftershave Balm
An aftershave balm for skin the shave leaves irritated. Alcohol free, with witch hazel, a natural astringent, to settle nicks that sting. Lightweight and non-greasy; it absorbs quickly and leaves no film.
The scent is Aegean Citrus: a crisp blend of bergamot and sea salt, bright without being loud.
100ml, a few dabs a day. Also in Sandalwood.

Frequent Questions
What is a blade bank?
It's a small tin that takes used razor blades through a one-way slot in the top and holds them safely until it's full, then seals shut for disposal.
How do I dispose of used razor blades?
Into a blade bank, then out with your metal recycling. Each spent blade drops through the slot in the top and stays there until the tin is full, around a hundred blades. Kronos blades carry no PTFE coating, so the sealed bank goes in with metal recycling.
How many blades does the blade bank hold?
Around a hundred, which covers years of shaving for most people.
Why shouldn't I just put blades in the bin?
A used blade is still sharp, and a bathroom bin isn't built to hold it safely. A blade bank keeps them contained until you're ready to recycle them.
The Blade Bank exists because a used blade is still sharp enough to cut through a bin bag. Every spent blade drops through a one-way slot in the top and stays there until the bank holds around a hundred, years of shaving for most people, then it seals shut for safe disposal.
A spent double edge blade can cut through a bin liner and whoever empties it, which is the reason a dedicated bank exists instead of a drawer or a wrapped tissue. The slot only lets blades in, never back out, so the blades inside stay sealed in until the bank is full.
It takes any standard double edge blade, the same Double Edge Razor Blades that fit the Kronos Safety Razor, so nothing about disposal is proprietary. A blade itself costs around fifty pence to replace, so the bank is the one part of the routine bought once and then forgotten.
It is built to sit beside the stand rather than live in a drawer, so disposal stays part of the same few minutes as the shave itself. A keeper who buys the razor and the blades eventually needs somewhere for what comes out the other end, which is exactly the gap the bank fills.
