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.

After recognising the children were being “sucked out”, unable to repel the rip’s overwhelming strength, Mark McAdams didn't hesitate to "strip down" to his underwear and brave the treacherous waters to save the siblings, thought to be aged around 7 and 9, on Monday afternoon.
“My mission was to save the kids, but once I got a hold of them, I knew I was in trouble as well. If two surfers weren’t close by to call over, we were gone. All three of us were gone,” McAdams said.
The Porirua City Council will discuss whether a flotation device can be installed at the north end of Tītahi Bay, following the near-drowning.
“We recognise the near-drowning at Tītahi Bay this week was not what we want to see at a beach in Porirua, and we will be talking to the right people about how it can be made safer for swimmers and other users,” a council spokesman 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.
