Thread: How is this for an awesome razor?

Interesting, and thus begins, 30 years from now, on a future shaving board, posts of, "Someone scored an NOS MACH 5 Swivel Head!!!".....and talk of the days when men shaved like men.

If that makes it to production, will be one to try for sure, wonder what Gillette will call it when they buy that startup? They've exceeded their funding goal by 10 X.

Thanks for posting.

I know.... I know..... A "light saber" blade like a straight razor!

Hold the scales in hand.... press a button..... (light saber noise).....

Start shaving.....lol

It will appeal to the golfing crowd.

Never liked golf myself, always found it quite boring...now if you were to hide a few snipers around the course, now, that would be exciting.....

I picture laser razor place (LRP) with videos, instead of pictures..

I see the target audience to be women and metro's < (being men who like to pamper themselves like women) in all honesty. I like the old timey cold steel myself!

In case it doesn't 'get off the ground' .......... here is a photo for posterity ;

You could use it to scrape stickers off the windows in your car.

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

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.
