For a while in the olden days, some bathrooms included a tile that would let you dispose of your used razor blades by putting them in a slot that dropped them into space inside the wall. A friend of mine recently learned about this and asked me if I could make him a tile like that, so that's one of the things I worked on today

@MLE_online Our house had a slot in the back of the medicine cabinet.

@MLE_online I forgot to say the important part, "when I was a kid in the 1960s"

@tomjennings @MLE_online Or you know it's just the same medicine cabinet 50 years later.

@MLE_online It's really indicative of a hideous consumer culture. Like even houses are just things to dump garbage in.

@tomjennings Of all the things people use a few times and throw away, razor blades seem pretty low on the list of evils. They're small, nontoxic, and who wants to use a straight razor?

@MLE_online Oh I was thinking about the concept of hiding "garbage" in the walls. It is true, old injector razors and double edged did not have any plastic at all. And seriously in the scheme of things today it is quite minor.
