is the scarp laser razor a scam it was suspended on Kickstarter after raising four million dollars for failing to have a working prototype I checked it out in person see for yourself in our video of the laser razor in action so I've rolled up my sleeves and I've got a laser radio here here goes some Harris okay so I'm pulling a few hairs away it's not doing a clean shave with this prototype with the initial fiber they need a they say they need a rigidly mounted optical fiber to get through everything the laser cuts through I may get a little bit close from try not to hit my skin they say that if it gets too close even a little bump in the skin can break it's that rigid can't cut through this many at once right now I'm not with this flavor but I see them burning individually here and there you can see the ones that are landing on top of the razor is they get cut a few here and a few there final fiber that they're hoping to work with they say they can cut as many as 10 at a time conservative estimate 5 but we heard 10 is what they're shooting for whoops and broke the fiber so can lasers cut hair absolutely but you're not going to be shaving with them quite yet laser yes razor not so much the real question is whether scarp can make the laser razor a reality it doesn't deliver a clean shave quite yet but it definitely felt like a working prototype to me for more check out my full report at cnet.com
