> chromophores (color bearing molecules) in hair can be severed at relatively low powers What if you're blond?
Laser hair removal doesn't work well with light hair from what I recall, they usually require you to use electrolysis instead. I imagine that we're not doing something radically different here, so the answer to this would probably be 'it won't work'.
This current phenomenon about crowdsourcing products is similar to the GroupOn/flash sale phenomenon, and as the products get shittier and shittier, and as more and more get disillusioned by it, the entire space will die. Kickstarter and IndieGoGo need to do a much, much better job policing this, otherwise they will be out of business in 2 years. There are too many shitty products with great marketing videos that are…
Anecdotally I see this with video games on Steam Greenlight, but that service always seemed liked the Wild West to me.

I knew this was a scam the instant I saw it. Kickstarter needs to have something like a $1 buy to comment without pledging or simply allow those of us with sufficient Kickstarter "karma" (however that is measured) to comment for free. The fact that they didn't have a video of someone actually shaving was icing on the cake. The video "demo" that's on youtube is such bullshit I wonder what they thought they'd accomplis…
They already have that feature: You can select "No thanks" on the rewards screen and pledge a $1 to comment.
> Backers received an email from Kickstarter saying the Laser Razor was "in violation of our rule requiring working prototypes of physical products that are offered as rewards". Interesting. Was this a recent policy change? Control VR never showed any working prototypes either, and their campaign was allowed (this was in 2014). Their demonstration video was later revealed to be using another company's significantly m…
that policy is probably about a couple years old.

They already are.

Surely ordering the beta would show straight away that the product was entirely non-functional (ie fake)?
Did I miss something that you're relying on to form this opinion?

It's sad that people thought it was real, forget about lasers and stuff it's basic common sense. A AAA battery doesn't store enough power to drive a laser capable of burning hair for any reasonable amount of time. When the laser isn't interrupted by the hair it has to go some where which means that heat is produced, if it can get something hot enough to burn the hair off it would get hot enough that you won't be able…
What's the science on "dark" hairs? Can I dye my hair and then laser-remove it?
Optic fiber glass is SHARP AS HELL.
So, make the thing light up with pretty lights and colors and expose a sharp glass edge for cutting.
Works like a razor, cuts incredibly closely, and has ooh shiny for marketing.
I'm not seeing a problem with this.
