By that logic, I can only buy one more razor. I like Ideal Number = n+x a lot better. In that formula, x represent whatever I want it to.

Essentially the same expression. As ideal is always number owned + 1 buy another the ideal is that amount + 1

I find that my straight razor (and shaving supply) purchases have been closer to y=x^2, where x is greater than 0:

Go ahead, get technical on us. The actual formula is better represented with words. X = whatever is out there and I want it and I want it now.

@Major - then we will get along just fine. You're a bio-chemist and I'm a bio-mess.
