My grandfathers medicine cabinet in it had a slot on the back marked "razor blades" in which used blades were to be dropped. Did they BUILD blade banks into the walls of houses at one time????

Yep, those big blade banks were called "Framing". The blades just drop. Since it would take several hundred years of daily shaves to fill up the void in the wall, who cared? If the house was demolished or burned the old blades were just an acceptable part of the debris.

I would never, ever use a knife to do that, unless it was a completely junk knife, and I don't keep those around. Not only is it a horrible thing to do to a knife, it's not particularly safe.
My medicine cabinet came with a blade disposal slot in it. I have NO IDEA where they go, expect that there's 60 years of rusty blades in the wall.
Stealing some of the best ideas from this thread, here's what I came up with ...
Thanks for all the great ideas guys!
