The Skarp Laser Razor

Quote:

The first ever razor, powered by a laser, for an irritation free, incredibly close shave. Join the revolution!

Supposedly, a revolutionary concept in shaving. This company claims to have a working model that is capable of cutting hair of any color. The video shows a very ambiguous "shaving" of hair on the arm at around 1:30. If this thing actually works, why not just clearly show it shaving someone?

I have worked with various types of lasers, large and small, over the years, and I find this claim difficult to believe. If this device can vaporize hair, it would be very dangerous to use around the eyes, and I would think that the smell of burnt hair would be objectionable to most.

They have raised almost $2,000,000 with an original goal of just $160,000. The video is typical of some really bogus claims we have all seen, stock pictures of sciency looking equipment and men in lab coats.

So, the question is "Scam or revolutionary concept in shaving?"
