I switched back to double edge a few years ago,and throw mine in the slot but mthe cabinet just has the slots the shelves sit in.
to go under a 100 year old house and look at the pile of old razor blades. Kind of a metal time capsule.

Or did that come later with the microwave?
...and the blades i buy come in a hard plastic dispenser, that has a compartment for used blades; a similar slot into which the sharp little devils are deposited.
What kind of blades do you use?
When I bought my DE razor I bought sample packs of 5 different blades. SoFar? The Shark Super Stainless is pretty good and the Feather blade is terrific.
I'm thinking of upgrading to the Rockwell Stainless DE razor.
Too much is never enough
yup

I grew up in a house with those slots in every bathroom I saw my dad dispose of his blades through the slot when I would watch him shave. It was a mystery to me what happened to the blades.

Trust me, in Florida, it was the death chamber for thousands of Palmetto Bugs.. along with a few used razor blades it was designed for.
Ye olde Razor blade slot-

Ha! I absolutely remember that. My parents build a new house in the late 1950s. Had a laundry chute from the second floor to the basement, a finished basement with a shuffleboard layout embedded in the flooring, a "family room", AND, a medicine cabinet with a razor blade slot.
:)
How about a milk delivery box? First house I can remember living in had a milk delivery box.
Yes, had one. Galvanized metal, insulated,...
I added a laundry chute in our 70's house soon after we bought it, one of the best reno's we did TBH.
If you grew up in an old house you probably recognized this slot right away. But you can still see them in some hotels too. These holes were used to dispose of old razor blades. Back before stainless steel blades became common in the 1960s, you could really only get two uses out of a blade (once on each side).
Instead of throwing them in the garbage can, where kids or pets could find them, they would be dropped through the slot into a space behind the wall.
It's not a bad idea, and some people still use these slots, but if you ever renovate your home you'll find a pile of razors behind your walls.
Never would have guessed it! Potentially dangerous for people doing reno's later if they were unaware.
I was thinking it had to do with the guy from the Candyman movies, maybe that's how he got thru.
