Shaving Thought Experiment
I have a long commute and when I'm driving I think about weird things. This is what I thought of today and I want your thoughts. Believe it or not the genesis of this idea was Schrodinger's Cat...
Anyway...
So imagine you have two men: Bob and Harry. Both are dedicated wet shavers. Imagine each man has access to the exact same shaving scenario. They each have perfect lathering skills, perfect straight shaving technique, and a perfect razor with the most optimally sharp and smooth edge humanly possible.
Basically, these men exist in a perfect shaving vacuum.
They are identical in every way except one: Bob has a massively thick beard that gets a 5:00 shadow before noon. Harry has a light, wispier beard that takes a few days to really come in.
I know that a sharp razor and excellent technique means a razor will neatly slice hair from your face. But my question is, will a perfect razor and technique slice through each man's beard with the same ease? Will Harry have a simpler time getting all that hair off than Bob? Will Bob have to work harder? Is a great razor and great technique blind to beard type??
What do you think?
