Based on a discussion on my favourite shave forum regarding blade banks (ie.: how to store and dispose used razor blades), I did a bit of googling… and part of me really wants this in my bathroom:
The downside will show up when it’s time to get contractors in and renovate the bathroom:
Overall, perhaps best and safest to NOT cut a slot in the bathroom wall… never mind the fact that it would be the wet wall.

I’ve been poking at injectors lately, and I found a 1946 patent for the “injector” part – that is the blade holder and inserter.
This invention relates to improvements in a razor blade injector and disposal device, and refers more particularly to a blade changer having a compartment or container made integral with the magazine of the injector.
The disposal of used blades has been and remains a serious problem. The blades constitute a hazard not only to the user, but to others. Whether the handler of the bladese be forewarned or runs across them without knowledge of their existence, their disposal is a problem and is the cause of many accidents. The present invention seeks to devise a depository for used blades which will entirely eliminate all such hazards and accidents.
An object of the invention, therefore, is to provide a convenient disposal container into which the blade can be placed immediately after use.
Another object is to provide a compartment or box-like container aiiixed to and forming an integral part of the magazine of a blade injector or changer with a slotted opening in the end of the compartment for insertion of the used blades.
A further object is to provide an injector having a magazine for new blades, and a disposal compartment for used blades, offering safety enclosures for both types until the supply of new blades has been exhausted, and a disposal container for the final batch of used blades.

Bergums Såpkokeri is slated to make a Limited Edition of his Brutalt Bra Barbersåpe for my favourite shaving forum. As a fellow Norwegian, how can I not be excited about a well review Norwegian shaving soap that will smell of the Norwegian forest, exclusive to the one forum I really enjoy hanging out on?
Bought privately from the fellow shaver behind BullGoose, a Gillette Slim.
Mr Razor have a scan of the original manual – not that a razor really need much of a manual.
Direct from BullGoose shaving supplies in California, a tub of Dr. Selby Lavender Luxury Shaving Cream – three times concentrated. Was intended to arrive by Christmas 2015, but with the delays in the Norwegian postal system…
The hard cream came with an operators manual in Spanish, but luckily a fellow shaver over at my favourite shave forum translated it into English in his review a couple of years back:
Always leave the tub open and use the cap as a base. The reason is because Dr. Selby shaving cream (in the tub 3 times concentrated) will always have a dry surface and it will render 400 shaves. Only in case of travel cover the cream.
Wet the brush, discharge the water over your face then swirl the brush in the tub as shown in the image. This way the cream will not get wet and it will not waste too fast.
To multiply the cream production on your face. Wet the brush a little more and keep swirling until it turns creamy, compact with no air bubbles.
