10 Uses for a Razor

I have always thought 'disposable' razors are way too nice just to throw away. So today when I was about to throw my old razor away I stopped myself and thought,"What could I use this for?"  All 10 uses aren't, necessarily, useful, but I did fill up some lazy time figuring them out, and you can spend some lazy time trying them or just laughing at my way of spending an afternoon. 

Warning: I am not responsible for any cuts you may get from your razor while dissembling or playing with it.  

Step 1: Disassembling of the Razor

How can one razor have so many uses? It disassembles. This required no tools or super human strength. With just a bit of pulling and squeezing and wiggling on the bottom of the razor head where it connects, it popped right out.  Then a with a bit of pulling the part that connects the razor head to the handle, will come loose. The last part to take out is the spring. (This is technically two parts because there is a piece of plastic inside the spring, but we'll call it one piece) This you can just slide out with no problem.  

  If that made absolutely no sense, the picture explains it better than I just did.

That is really cool. Do you mind if I put yours as use #7? I will give your link, and give you credit for it etc.

Don't rule out resharpening the razor and using it as a razor. By stropping the razor on a towel or strip of fabric at the end of each shave a razor can last 6 months or more.

True. I had forgotten about that. (However this razor was already very dull, and it was a little late for that)

I can add a more useful use: to remove very little spines or chips from epidermis.

You must detect the protruding end of the spine, and move the shaver over in extract direction. The method is almost foolproof, nearly invisible spines go off smoothly.

Bigger spines are easily taken off with a needle or a cutter, but those almost invisible are specially suggested to extract with a razor.
