Occam’s (or Ockham’s) razor is a principle attributed to the 14th century logician and Franciscan friar; William of Occam. Ockham was the village in the English county of Surrey where he was born.
Occam’s razor basically says “when you have two competing theories which make exactly the same predictions, the one that is simpler is the better.” We can apply this to any number of things, but I like to rephrase it a bit, and say “when your have two bike parts that do the same job, the better looking one does that job better.” Maybe thats totally wack. But I dont think so. We can also easily apply to other things, razors themselves being a good starting point. Mel has a really nice old razor, that uses replacable blades that you get ten of at cvs for 5 dollars. Its a two sided blade, so when one side gets clogged with hair, you just flip it over. There are no weird speed holes, or aloe flaps or pivots for shaving cream and small hairs to get built up in. Its easy to clean. Because it has a steel head and handle, it holds heat well, so it cuts smoothly. Having only one blade keeps it from over agitating your skin. Its a simple, elegant design that wasnt improved on for over 60 years. Needles to say it looks better than any current razor. We got it for a dollar at a yardsale. Now we have this five bladed expensive pile of bile…the mach 3 gives me a severe rash, I’d hate to see what this does…removes the first 3 layers of skin? -James
