Thread: How is this for an awesome razor?

I think I will stick with my straights thanks for sharing though!!

This is really interesting. I hope they can perfect the design.
The demo was a little disappointing. They give some explanations as to why it isn't performing better. One of the backers even posted that he worked with fiber optics and that is impossible to get the results you want if it isn't manufactured to the right specs. They also mentioned that some of the hairs cut in the video are 'lightly fused' to the shaft.

Good, so I wasn't the only one thinking it.

A scythe was my first thought, but it does look more like a golf club.

I'm not good at golf, I never got good. I never got a hole in one, but I did hit a guy. And that's way more satisfying. You're supposed to yell "Fore", but I was too busy mumbling "There ain't no way that's gonna hit him. - Mitch Hedberg

Brings a whole new meaning to razor burn.

If there is a video of the shaving razor, it would be interesting.

I saw this today as well. What would I do with all my brushes... Open a shrine to commemorate when you get a good shave you placed a well honed piece of steel to your throat!!

I have to assume though that my bathroom, instead of smelling like fresh soap and manly aftershave, will smell of burnt hair.

or melt ice?

I realized that shaving would be dry?

Would you be able to sculpture ice with it??

I am in the same boat, golf is a perfectly good walk ruined. Lazer golf might be fun, I haven't considered the mechanics of the game just that you get to walk around and have lazers.

It will be interesting to see if this product takes off, and how it works. From briefly reading the page I think the biggest issue would be life expectancy and cost of replacement for the head/ Fibre thingy.

Some of the comments were a bit unreal like the guy who asked if he could get free cases with his razors. If they were offering free cases they would have said so, and asking after you have pledged removes your leverage somewhat.

I wonder if the offset neck will make any difference to the shave and whether it was a functional design feature or just a style points thing.
