Please disregard my advice w/r/t history.
the video is pretty cliche funny:

smoke, mirrors, lasers

fiddling with knobs

presenting science graphs

3D printing

Sounds pretty awesome if it will actually work. Shaving sucks, that's why I have a huge greasy unkempt beard filled with potato chips.

If they have a prototype how come they didn't show it in use in the video?

I'd legit have backed if they did, but there's no way I am backing with the for-show equations on the whiteboard and the clown show they put on.

I shave everyday.

You mean the lazer pointers they shot through their rented smoke machine didn't convince you of their technical prowess?

Sick oscilloscope shots, turning some knobs.

Some degree of this kind of junk is to be expected in a promotional video, but they had no actual substance in any part of that kickstarter. Just the one image of how they'd like it to work which conveniently was a computer render.

I've been shaving for more than 30 years and it occurred to me the other day while I was shaving just how unutterably bored I was with the whole process.

The problem with a laser is that it doesn't pull the hair up from the skin before cutting it so you'll never get as close a shave as an actual piece of sharp metal.

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH
Having worked for several years in the laser hair removal industry, I call BS. There's no way they could fit the amount of power required into the handle of a razor. Also, for it to be hot enough to shave clean, you would need a cooling mechanism such as an external chiller or integrated system. Even laser hair removal doesn't shave you clean and, the more hair you have, the more it hurts.

This is clearly a pipe dream.

Never trust a bald barber, never trust a bearded man selling razors.
