A few years ago I found blades in a dollar store, but haven't been able to find any more since. Anyone recognize these and know what they are called or where to purchase them?
They are called single edge razor blades. You might be able to get some at Wal Mart. Most likely at the grocery store, or Dollar store or a drug store. You might check around the paint depts. they have the small hand held scrapers that hold these type of razor blades. Now they often come in a small plastic container so you can get one out at a time from one side of the little box and put the old one in the other side. They also come in singles pkgs.
