Here is what our Commissary Sergeant has to say about this issue:

We sell / issue a basic safety type razor. Prior to the final decision to use this particular type / brand of razor, I broke apart several different kinds and examined the actual blade in each unit. Of the razors that I destroyed, I noted that the one we choose was the most difficult to dissemble and the actual blade that it contained was so flimsy that it was basically useless without the framework of the razor body to hold it rigid. The blade is also very small. This is the only razor that we provide and it is utilized for all inmates that are eligible to possess one.His name is Sergeant Richard Robinson and he can be reached at 904-630-5704.Jerry

I'm not sure if this is an "urban legend", but I'm pretty sure that smoking almost anything is toxic! I actually contacted the Hershey Company for a response to the original posting. (In no small part, because this is my favorite candy.) Their reply was, "I am sorry, we have no statement for you."
