Shaving can be the absolute worst, especially for people with sensitive skin. Razors can leave behind razor burn, ingrown hairs and cuts, and when you've worn down a razor so that it's no longer usable, it joins the others in landfills to the tune of 2 billion razors per year in the US (PDF).
The makers of a new product called the Skarp Laser Razor want to give you an incredibly close, irritation-free shave using lasers. The prototype is an aluminum razor-shaped gizmo that they say uses a laser to cut (not burn) the hair at skin level for a close shave, and works for all hair colors.
Because the laser is supposed to last about 50,000 hours and be usable without water, it would be good for the environment as well.

Although I agree with you and recognize genetic differences, I am obligated on behalf of tumblr to say "Das Rascis". In my country you can be locked up for stating a medical fact if some people think that a particular medical fact is a "Hate Crime". You don't even have to call for violence against anyone, you only need to state a medical fact and you can be arrested. American Style "Freedom of Speech" does not exist here. I'm not looking for permission to spew hatred, I'm only looking for the ability to talk honestly about factual information, not Neo-Nazi garbage. I can actually get questioned over this comment but hopefully I won't. I've taken precautions so my connection is obscured. I wholly expect people to criticize me and dismiss my comment but it is the truth.
