It’s 2015 and if we want a smooth, stubble-free face, we still have to scrape a miniature knife over our skin, just like our grandpas did.

Well, it looks like there might be hope for a technological breakthrough here, because some inventors have developed a gadget called Skarp, which is a laser-powered razor that might – MIGHT – allow us to throw away our metal blades forever.

The guys behind Skarp have raised about $3 million using a Kickstarter campaign. And the crazy thing is, they were only looking to raise $160,000.

This might be because guys really want clean, close shaves without the hassle of a blade. Or … it could be because shaving with laser beams every morning would be totally cool. (Thrillist)
