Actual Razor Blades or Stanley Knife Blades best for scraping?

[TransistorBass]

Are actual Razor Blades better than Stanley Knife blades for scraping up the spice?

I also use a little chemical scoop/scraper tool https://www.amazon.co.uk/QWORK-spatula-Stainless-Laboratory-Sampling/dp/B09GKD14G5 for scraping around the round corners of the Pyrex dishes.

I've started rinsing my scraped dishes with a bit of Isopropyl then leaving to evaporate to see if I can recover anything usable. I just got a little bit of goo the last time I did this. I guess I could start making Changa but I don't really want to smoke / burn stuff and breath it in. Though I'm currently tempted by some Mullein & Blue Lotus pre-rolls I spotted online, I could make incense out of them even if I don't fancy smoking them.

How do you scrape? Whats the best Dish to use for freeze precipitate? How do you deal with the little bits left in the dish after scraping?

Thanks

i wish i had a straight razor to scrape with, one for shaving i could flip the blade over...

i usually just use a credit card though, if its tough i break it up with a spatula or paint scraper first

I like to use razor blades, with one of the sides wrapped in paper or cardboard.
To get the last remainders that one can't get just by scraping, I use a bit of the heptane recovered after freeze precipitation.

I've been using Stanley Knife blades but they do like to corrode or go a bit manky on the edge. So the stack of used blades is growing!

Heptane is probably a good call, then I can keep that bit til nxt extraction and pour it in wit the next freeze precipitate

I found some plastic razor blades online for super cheap. I haven't actually tried them for DMT but they're working well for scraping stickers without leaving scratches on the glass/metal. I like a flexible playing card for corners.

I spotted those too, but the traditional Razor blades with a little metal cover on one side, they are like hens teeth and rocking horse sh*t, probably available from the Tartan Paint shop! At least in the UK from what I could see searching.
