CAN you write an Economist picture caption? The excellent standard of entries in our previous competitions suggests that many of you can. Here's a new chance for you to see your wit in print.

The photograph above will accompany an article in the Business section in this week's issue. The razor blade is hardly cutting-edge technology, yet venture capitalists are ever more interested in the humble device, and the multi-billion dollar personal grooming market of which it is part. Sharp entrepreneurs are experimenting with various business models—some new firms deliver cheap razors by post; others are betting on luxury kits that cost as much as $100,000. Which shaving start-ups will prove a little scratchy? Which can expect the smoothest rise?

As before, it's up to you to provide the caption: please leave your suggestions in the comments thread below. The captions should be as short and snappy as possible, and ideally no more than about 30 characters long. The best contribution will appear beneath the picture in this week's print edition, which is published on Friday morning. Entries close at midnight London time on Wednesday evening, so you've got a little more than 48 hours. The winner can truthfully claim to have written (at least a few words) for The Economist. Over to you.

Update: The competition is now closed, and the winner has been announced.
