We used to just twist, solder and tape connections without boxes in the

It may be neater and hide your shoddy work but safer? I doubt it.

A properly installed box *is* safer, because the cables are clamped to the
box. This means that any pulling, tugging, impact, etc. on the cables cannot
possibly dislodge the splice -- definitely not true when there is no box.

Failing to use a box is in and of itself "shoddy word". Not to mention a Code
violation.
