The $100K Razor

摘要

You could waste $100,000 on a new BMW 7-Series. Or you could spend it on a sensible everyday household item like the Zafirro razor. The deluxe shaving implement has blades of artificial sapphire grown at a former Soviet lab in the Ukraine. The slicers are a mere 80 atoms thick on their cutting edge-about 1/10,000th the width of a hair—and substantially sharper than their commercial cousins. Plus, they'll stay sharp for about a year, and manufacturer Bright Light Ventures promises complimentary resharpening for a decade.
