LASER RAZOR Blunted by KickStarter Ban
13th October 2015
KickStarter has suspended funding for the Skarp Laser Razor, a crowdfunded effort to replace conventional razors with a laser-powered shaving implement.
That’s a disappointment.
In other words, the Skarp crew doesn’t have a working prototype. This video from the project’s KickStarter page suggests there is a prototype in existence, but not a very effective one: the device does knock off a few hairs, but is a long way short of the experience of pulling a conventional razor down one’s skin and having the majority of hairs beneath the blade cleft.
Hm. Maybe they have a point.
