Does anyone remember them from their childhood? These strange slots allowed you to rid yourself of an old razor and never think of it again...but it also meant, years down the track, that someone renovating would be in for a nasty, rusty surprise.
I'm certain I've seen something like this here in Aotearoa-NZ, but can't for the life of me recall where. It was in the back of the medicine cupboard. Let us know if you've seen, had - or have - one in your home.

Cardrona Alpine Resort spokeswoman Jen Houltham said eight centimetres of snow had fallen on Tuesday morning, and was “still coming down”.
Cardrona is home to New Zealand’s highest mountainbike park, mountain carting, hiking, stargazing and dining.
“If the trails are covered in snow we can’t get up mountain carting or biking, but as it falls on the warm summer ground it should melt quickly," Houltham said.
The great kiwi deck, every home should have one. But there's a decking debate raging in DIY and Reno circles: Should the grooves go up or down?
We think we've settled the argument here.

With international borders closed, the number of visitors has plummeted, businesses are struggling for survival and workers are losing hours.
Accommodation providers are expected to see their hotels, motels and guest houses 80 per cent empty over the next month.
But when the sun is shining the lake and mountains are perfect, car parks are aplenty and there is no queue at foodie hotspot Fergburger, a far cry from normal.

To help nurture those conversations, we invite you to our Care Centre Open Days at your local Ryman village. A tour will give you first-hand experience of our village communities and the exceptional care we provide. Care options include the extra support of a serviced apartment, resthome, hospital and specialist dementia care.

It fully replicates everyday life in a suburban neighbourhood within a safe, secure setting. They have the freedom to do what they like – within reason – retaining a sense of purpose and dignity.
We want to change how we care for older New Zealanders, particularly those living with dementia. Together as a community, we must set the bar higher. We have an opportunity to redefine aged care in New Zealand. Be part of a legacy.
