Future tech of the week!

skarp

 

When we say shaving, what word pops into your head? We’re going to go ahead and guess that for a lot of you, that word is ‘booooooring’. For a lot of us shaving is a regular thing, and the tools we use haven’t changed for like 5000 years. AND it means that while we’re supposed to be giving the environment hugs, we’re actually giving it about 2 million plastic razors a year (from the US alone!). Sorrrrry environment.

 

Well, never fear, because a Kickstarter campaign is here!

 

More precisely, a company called Skarp (meaning “sharp” in Swedish) is here! And it has designed an aluminum razor powered by lasers that doesn’t need water to work or to be thrown out after use. Whaaaaat.

 

At time of writing Skarp has had over 10,000 backers pledge $1,823,077, waaaaaay over their original goal of $160, 000. Aparrently a lot of people are feeling the lack of progression in the shaving industry!

 

Benefits? We’ll give you benefits!

No razor burn
No infection

The razor works by using wavelengths of light for an extra close, clean, shave for both dark and light hairs.

 

Ch-ch-ch-eck it out!
