The Skarp lazer razor kickstarter

This is really cool. Part of me wants to back it, so I can say I have shaved with a freaking laser. Part of me wants to not be part of the first group, because lasers are scary. Hmmmm...

 

Oh great, now I have LRAD...Laser Razor Acquisition Disorder.

(Not Long Range Acoustical Device).

 

Why did they not have a video of someone actually using the razor and not a video made up demonstrating how it works. That one guy had a nice beard...let him video himself using it and then it may make more of an impact! Just saying seeing is believing

 

I think because they are selling the concept, all that technical data comes later. good idea though, I'm pretty sure I said that six months ago.

Sounds cool but the question is how long it would be used before it would be said to cause cancer.

 

Since there are no UV frequencies in laser wavelengths I can't possibly see how it could cause cancer.

 

You can have my antique carbon DE blades when you flash-cauterize the charred stump that was holding them.

 

light sabers cauterize after themselves

 

There have been some remarks posted that relate to potential health issues and unpleasant side effects, that in their creative zeal, the developers might have overlooked. Such seems the fate of many new technologies these days. Although the idea might be worthy of a star fleet standard issue shaving kit, the Federation might have worked out all issues before allocating the device to the front lines...

 

Two years in Europe. At least if it's a business to consumer transaction.

 

There is already a lazer hair removal tool on the market called the NO NO. This appears to be a high tech version of that concept.

No no is not a laser. It uses a heated metal edge to melt or burn hair off.

 

According to the No!No! website, it's not a laser device, but uses heat to singe the hair. Here is what the website says:

Edit: Richgem beat me to it.

 

Your right! I previously saw the ad on TV with the light and assumed it was a laser. I should have read the website.
Maybe it would work on a face, might be nice during those cold winter months?

 

With a laser you better be careful or you might not get to call it manscaping after the first pass

 

It has been kicked off Kickstarter. Barely able to cut arm hair in demo.

The press has said there is no working prototype so against Kickstarter's rules, but what was in the video?

 

3 million in backing on Kickstarter? Anyone think this won't get private funding?

 

The belief is that they used some photographic trickery combined with a nichrome wire (rather than light/laser) in their demo video.
