I find lost and mis-shelved books of greater importance than razors, anyway:

The Vatican Library in Rome, home of nearly two million books, manuscripts and other items, has adopted radio frequency identification (RFID) tags to identify and manage a big chunk of its large collection. Systems integrator Seret s.r.l. has tagged more than 50,000 of the Vatican Library’s 120,000 volumes in its public reading rooms.
