Yes, in Loughton in the 1970s there was a sticker on a lamp post with a razor blade beneath it. I had heard about this practice, so removed it using a door key.This cropped up again on twitter today as part of a discussion about NF stickers appearing around Camden.
Basically the story goes that one should be very careful when removing fascist stickers from lamp posts, walls, wherever, because they might have razor blades underneath them.
It was suggested that the best thing to do is to carry around your own stickers to put over the fascist ones.
I have to say, I've been removing fash stickers since the mid 80s and my fingers are very much still intact.
Has this ever happened to you, or someone you know?

Gwent Police have been instructing people not to remove offensive stickers. They want us to report these items to them instead. I will be ignoring their advice, for three reasons.libcom.org
It looks oddly neat to me. Recreated for the photo?
Almost as if the person posting the stickers has staged the photo to dissuade people from removing them.It looks oddly neat to me. Recreated for the photo?
I know the man who found them, who's a sound anti-fascist - slurs like this do you no favoursAlmost as if the person posting the stickers has staged the photo to dissuade people from removing them.
