I get better shaves during then full moon due to the change in gravity. Also, keeping my blades in a pyramid keeps them sharp forever.

Angular and linear functions to me recollect Johannes Kepler. (Two points and a circle kind of defining an ellipse.) But whereas neither the church nor Galileo changed how planets actually move, shaving has been altered, perhaps irrevocably, by the doctrine of angle-pressure error.

We must NOT allow this "angle pressure error" gap to widen !!!

I've been doing it all wrong ...

I doubt that. I finally got my DEvette flying like Spider-Man this morning, though. Not a single nick! But, no BBS, either.

Nothing is "kind of defined" in geometry.

d. what a couple of ignoramuses did to this thread

So, people who who disagree with you, or question you, or who comment on their observations that you seem a bit eccentric are ignoramuses? How convenient for you.

OK, I can only gawk at a train wreck so long before it goes from being morbidly fascinating to depressing. My interest in this thread has crossed that threshold. Unsubscribed.

I find it a lot easier to cut myself with a cartridge razor than a DE razor

Gillette decided there was an alternate business model that would be more profitable, and Marketing (with a capital "M") did it's job.

Another historical example...

I found a more auspicious historical precedent:

Surely we can all agree that ad hominem attacks are beyond what is deemed tolerable on this site, and that this thread is in danger of disappearing at the push of a single button.

Okay. Have it your way.
