The Infinity Blade

The Economist did this satire of Moore's Law: More Blades Good. The razor blade meme recalls the incredibly prescient Onion article Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades. Well, the Economist predicts that, if the trend continues, razors will have infinite number of blades by the year 2015.

Ridiculous? Satire? I don't think so. I'm calling it now. Before 2020 at the latest, we will see a razor with so many blades they can call it the Infinity Blade. The shaving surface will be a shiny, smooth surface that deforms to fit the unique contours of your face. It will be made of trillions of nanobots that can disintegrate hair on a molecular level, while protecting and moisturizing any skin tissue. Just run the Infinity Blade across your face or any other sensitive part, and the hair will simply disappear, leaving behind skin so soft you could be mistaken for a new born. Best of all, it won't leave any nasty hair shavings to be cleaned up! The Infinity Blade.
