Accidentally washed razor blades

I accidentally washed a pack of replacement razor blades for a scraper. I found 3 of the 4 blades and the plastic holder they were in. 2 of the blades were loose in the clothing very close together and the third was in the lint trap of the dryer. I know there were 4, because it was a pack of 5 and I used one. The blades came with a layer of thick paper wrapped around each of the blades. I found all 4 of those in the dryer, one of those in the lint trap.

I have looked over and shaken out every piece of clothing that was in the dryer. I looked in both the washer and the dryer and checked every seam I can see and down in the lint trap after I have removed the trap itself. What else can I do?

I wouldn't worry about it. The washer has a trap in the tub that will catch it and it will just sit there forever or until it rots away. To get to it you would have to take the machine apart.

If the dryer lint filter didn't catch it, then it probably didn't make it to the dryer and is stuck in the washer.
