The perfect shave

Will be possible in the year 2015.

I’ve been doing a bit of info gathering for a research project on Gillette’s Venus razors and I ran across a fairly humorous bit of information that I thought I would share:


In response to the arms race between Schick and Gillette, a new variation of technological singularity has ironically been proposed. After the invention of the safety razor, it took 75 years for the second blade to be added, then only 15 for the third, and one for the fourth and fifth. Using static analysis, this perfectly matches a hyperbolic curve which reaches infinity in 2015, predicting therefore that by then razors will have an infinite number of blades.


Just make sure you don’t cut yourself.

    A very amusing concept, though quite scary to imagine an infinite amount of blades, maybe it could become a sort of weapon used by the millitary as opposed to shaving purposes.
