My invention relates-to a holder for safety razo'r'blades. As is well known, used safety razor blades are frequently allowed to lie around a bath; These blades are danger-1 ous, particularly where there are young children.

antially flush with the outer face of the tile. The front wall has a slot or opening, for the passage of the blades, and a sliding drawer is mounted in the bottom of the receptacle or body portion v drawer being-flush with the outer face of the body portion.- A suitablelnuob or the like is employed to open and close the drawer, which may actuate a latch or look.
