I accidentally flushed the lid to a disposable razor last night. The toilet has not malfunctioned at all this far. Do you think I have anything to worry about?

there is no problem - if you have flushed it [incuding paper] with no ill effects then there shouldn't be a problem

As long as it is small & can manuver through the curvy throat, it should be fine.
Try putting about 10 sheets of toilet paper in the bowl & flushing - repeat about 7-10 times.
If it does not back up, then it may have passed through, but if it takes a couple times to get the paper down, then it is still in the throat & you may have intermittent flushing problems.
Most likely, something that small & lightweight will pass right through.
Hope this helps.

Most sewage piping in a home is 4 inch the toilet trap is close to 2 inches Theres no way it can lodge in either, sooner or later it will be flushed down the line dont worry.

If it is one of those tiny plastic things that cover the razor I would not worry about it. If you have flushed it several times and nothing happened yet; forget about it.

Nothing to worry about. My hubby flushes bigger things than that down all the time!

Once won't be a big deal, if you repeatedly flush things you shouldn't, then you may some day develope trouble.

No not unless it gets stuck in the main sewer line.

check your septic system and see if it has passed
