    Talking Shave with your laser

    Right, I know you guys love a laser related kickstrater project, and this is just to funny not to post up, firstly I have no connection with these guys, I mean frankly they mean business, they use lasers with smoke machines and lab coats, they have big complex formulas on their white boards, they ARE NOT PLAYING. check this out https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...entury-shaving
    I had to check it wasnt April 1st, but its not, and even more amazing they have raised nearly $3'000'000 (yeah seriously). You could not make this stuff up (well you can as they have)
    On a side note I'm raising funds for my new project, the 'time machine toaster' it will enable you to have breakfast and if your running late you can simply dial back a few minutes/hours or years, i hope to ship around the start of 2016, but the good news is as soon as i have a working prototype i will simply come back with all my data to this date, so there will be no wait at all, Early bird investors can have have one for $39.99 each

    Very cool, I saw it the other day as well. For $39, I'd do it, for $189, I'll wait until the Chinese make one with a glass tube and a chiller for $23

    No $39.99 is for my kickstarter 'the time machine toaster' not the shaver, i can assure you i have more chance of shipping a product than they do, this is another kickstarter that will have lots of disappointed backers.

    I "thought" that one of KickStarter's rules was that you had to have a working prototype, and that's what set it apart from Indiegogo.

    Yup, here is what they say; kickstarter.com/rules/prototypes

    "Projects that involve the development of physical products must feature explicit demos of working prototypes."

    If you are a KickStarter member you can report the campaign as making a false claim.

    Well, I already know your toaster (and time travel) won't work. If either did, you'd been here 2 hours ago with it...

    Feh. I may not be a neander in the wood shop but I am at the shaving mirror: straight razor, strop, mug, and brush.

    Having a few problems with the toaster, I recently sold one to a guy in 2047 and he claims one of his kids got an iphone 236s stuck in it and burnt their fingers, his was pretty grumpy but i think the main reason is he is still waiting for laser razor to arrive.
