I used to always toss away the plastic safety covers that are on razors, but I eventually realized they really do prolong the life of the razor, probably by keeping moisture and/or bacteria off the blades between shaves.
Environmental note: I know that Gilette multi-packs are a lot cheaper than Venus or Soleil razors with replaceable blades, but I really believe in being able to buy blade replacements. Also, the brand Preserve, sold at Whole Foods, mades recylable razors — you just snap off the blade and recycle the handle. And, of course, you can buy blade replacements — in fact they just came out with a triple blade razor.
