    Figured ide share this.
    Magflips have a plastic blade to scrape the glass but if you do this to make it accept a metal blade it can scrape through anything. Its been working great for me.
    Heres what u start with

    The plastic blade has 2 tabs at the center openings. Cut thise off so it looks like this.

    Slide it back on the magflip like usual.

    Take your razor and slide it in between the plastic blade and the magflip.

    Done. Enjoy easy cleaning and cheap replacement blades.

    (Don't forget to mention removal of the blade after use) Cool idea and awesome diy.

    I'd be hesitant myself, how many uses until any signs of rust form ?

    If you take the blade out when your done it wont rust at all. Takes 2 seconds to take it out. Mine had a little on it cuz I took it out and left the wet blade in. I cleaned it all off now tho and replaced the blade.

    I made a diy scraper with pvc and a razor blade. I only use each blade once. You can buy a pack of 100 from HD for $5. lasts forever. The same could be applied here.
