    Once saw a video of someone who forged a knife from old razor blades he found in a wall. There were hundreds. They shaved more often in the old days I presume…

      Depending on how often I shave, I use 2-6 blades per month. If I stay in a hotel, I bring a fresh pack of blades, and would probably toss the blade rather than trying to wrap it back up before leaving if there was a convenient way of doing so. It’s not hygienic to keep using the same blade more than a few times anyway.

        Hygiene has you replacing blades? I replaced mine when they’re blunt. I can’t see any contamination on my blades after a week of use

    Multiple homes I’ve lived in have had these slots in the medicine cabinets lol.

    Did they anticipate people not living long enough to care? Or that some biome would form to use the blades as food?

    Interesting decisions all around.

      Prevents them from being mixes in with general garbage and people cutting themselves when handling such.
