View Full Version : A good DE blade scraper?

I'm looking for a scraper handle that takes DE blades instead of the more standard SE blades.
I've got a pair of older wood stoves that soot up the glass something fierce, and a quick scrape with a razor blade does the trick. I keep tons of DE blades on hand for the obvious reasons, and I'd like to use them instead of stocking SE blades specifically for my scraper, something like this:

Any ideas? :confused1

pretending that's not a box cutter doesn't make it any less a tool for terrorism
:gasp:

It helps me increase my carbon footprint, so there's certainly an element of eco-terrorism inherent. :001_cool:

That old one might be just the ticket! Dropped that guy a message, thank you!!

I assume you're going to put USED blades in the scraper, after you're done shaving with them? Even if you have a large stockpile, there's no need to waste a perfectly good new blade to scrape your stove. Besides, its a good way to recycle and get extra life from them.
If necessary, you could probably make your own handle ... a couple of pieces of baseboard moulding would be about the right size. Drill some holes to mount bolts to hold the blade in place, and carve the remainder into a nice comfortable grip.

The obvious solution here would be to take up single edge shaving!

It would definitely be used blades going into the scraper, have no fear. The SE's last a while, so I figure there should still be a bit of life left in my DE's once my face is done with them. The stove doesn't mind a few ingrowns it would seem.
I'd DIY, but I fear what I might put together might not look so nice sitting on my hearth. I'm all thumbs :blush:
