I wrote about the increasing number of blades on a razor here on Sep 15 2005. Now, the Economist is looking at theMoore’s Law effect on the number of blades in a razor. The write suggests that additional blades follow a hyperbolic curve, not the curve suggested by Moore’s law.
In English, instead of a 14 blade razor in 2100, it will be on shelves within four years.
I am still claiming the TM on the Phlebotomizer - the 40 bladed wonder.
Glad I use an electric myself.
July 5, 2026 Update:
I now use six-bladed razors from the Dollar Shave Club and five-bladed razors from Harry’s. Shrug
