I remember them in a number of homes in which I resided. Of course, none of them were built after 1980 or so.
I don't think you see new medicine cabinets with a razor slot. Then again I've not been the market for one. Some shaving vendors sell a metal slot you can affix to the drywall in your bathroom. |

I remember. In my grandparents house, my grandfather had cut a slot in one of the interior doors to drop the blades into.

I helped a buddy with some demo years ago. When we opened the wall up there was a shitload of rusted to shit razor blades in there.

A blade goes in, assuming it drops into the little event horizon that comes with every one of these

When I lived in Dutch Hbr Alaska, we used a couple WW2 3 story barracks with the main floor which was a 4ft concrete floor into a basement with drop thoughs for bombing raids. In the heads/latrene the walls were destroyed and opened, there must have been a million plus blades in the walls spilling out on each floor.. Hard to describe, when you think about the number of guys that went through there, Buldings are in the top center of the pic.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Dutch_Harbor_2.jpg/1280px-Dutch_Harbor_2.jpg To add the interior stairwell were cement stairs, the walls all the way up the wells were old growth 2X4s nailed together flat against each one another all the way up to the 3rd floor. Insane amount of construction in there! The drop through basements were the full length of the buildings with cement floors as well. I am 6'2 and I could easily walk around down there. Crazy.. |

Tons of houses in Chicago still have them.
They just sit in between the slat and plaster wall until remodel. |

Yes. Our first apartment was a 1920s building.

Yep, lived in a house a few years back that had a razor slot in the medicine cabinet.
Be careful working in the crawlspace under such homes.... Those blades don't always stay in the wall.

I love showing these to people. Our family stayed in an older vacation home on the VA coast last summer. The cabinet had the slot. The younger people there were blown away.
The lodge at Blackwater Falls SP was built mid last century. The slots are still there. |

My 1987 era house has a medicine cabinet with that slot.
I still use it too. |
