    Now safety razors are actually the massive innovation of convenience, accessibility and low cost. While the industry moved onto cramming more and more redundant blades into their proprietary plastic cartridges while charing a 2000% markup.

    I don’t know how that analogy extends to phones but I’m not looking forward to that inevitable future.

      Also safety razors are recyclable. Those plastic cartridges, since plastics and metals have to be separated, aren’t recyclable.

      I like to think that the next generation will go back to desk top computers and landline phones.
