Remember when razors had only one blade? How 20th century! Modern wet shavers have at least 4 blades, and some also vibrate, from mobile-phone envy.
I propose a method by which a whole new level of closeness may be achieved.
A series of safety-razor-blade 'links' are connected together into a loop,
which is rotated by means of a small electric motor. Therefore hand-motion is minimised, and partially cut or missed hairs are no longer the major problem facing mankind.

I guess it would be at least as safe as a straightedge. But how do you replace the strip of excessive blades, and how often do you need to do so? |

I'm picturing a miniaturized reel mower. Am I close? |

Get rid of the motor and make it a push-shaver. |

I guess you can pull the loop out to one side after removing a guard. As I imagine you put the track on a tank. Since there are a lot of blades, they wouldn't get as much individual wear, so you wouldn't have to do that very often I'd have thought. |

I don't know what that is, but I wouldn't have thought so. |

Sounds just like in Blackadder: |
|
| |
"He horrifically decapitated himself while shaving" |
|
| |
Just how safe would changing this flexible strip of razor sharp things be? |
|
| |
And how do you propose to keep the bits of hair and skin particles from jamming up all those tiny chain links? |

+1 for your profile page alone. |

I can't see one problem at all with this idea. |
