    Default This new technology could mean the end of hones

    Very interesting video about diamond edged razor blades. Wonder when I will be able to get this treatment for my straight! The video shows a razor blade slicing ribbons off a single hair.

    How many people will pay $150 for a single razor blade? Also, just because it's wicked sharp doesn't mean it will give a great shave.

    The annals of shave history are littered with all kinds of contraptions that went nowhere.

    Believe it or not people still use manual typewriters because they want to. Same with vinyl phonograph records and turntables. New technology doesn't always mean the disappearance of older technology. There are even people who still shave with the old barber's straight razors ......

    Damn that's impressive. But I'm sure a laser could do the same thing, but I wouldn't want to shave with a laser. I'd be afraid it would cut the hair at too much of an angle, which once you release the stretch would cause an ingrown.

    Yea that's what they say but I never seen no people like that. They say you can tell cause they walk funny and got these horrible scars on their faces and like to touch their faces all the time. Some even talk to themselves. You best stay away from them.

    I keep honing if my straights only split hair.

    It'll be interesting to see if anyone picks up on it commercially and in what kind of product.

    Not going to insult it, though the thread title seems to invite it.
