Wet shaving is still very much a thing; in fact in the last decade or so, it's had a renaissance of sorts (tho it was probably re-gaining popularity already in the early 00's). I've been a wet shaver for 2.5 years but decided to buy me an electric shaver because these days I have less time for wet shaving. It can done be quickly but what's the point if you've got to rush it. Links for those who got curious:

Haven’t seen it mentioned, maybe I didn’t look hard enough. Wouldn’t this be a huge problem for water damage and mold between the walls? All I can think about is all that shower water + steam getting in there

Our house had one of these slots. When we remodeled the bathroom there was just a huge pile of razor blades. No water damage or mold, just a pain in the ass removing those walls since it was those small slats with nails and cement (I think it was cement?). Just lucky the only asbestos was on the pipes in the basement.

small slats with nails and cement

Lath and plaster. It's how they made walls before sheet rock (drywall)

Curious as to why this fell out of fashion?

Not just hotels, but regular homes too.

I thought people use those plastic blade disposal container that has a slot on top that you throw away once it gets full nowadays.

It's not built into the wall, but the base principle still hasn't changed even after all these times.

I got a can of chicken broth, knocked a slot into the top with a flathead screwdriver and a hammer, poured out the stock and rinsed and dried the can. It lives in the cabinet beneath my sink and I drop my blades in it when I'm done with them. That was about 10 years ago. The thing is maybe a third full.
