There are normal razors, electric models, and now Skarp. This futuristic razor has no blade, just a small laser that cuts through hair for an incredibly close shave, with no itching, burns or irritation. They’re made from 6061 aluminum and each laser has a life of 50,000 hours, while being powered by a single AAA battery. According to the company, here’s how it works: “Wavelengths of light had already been discovered that could cut through dark hair, but finding a way to cut light hair was proving incredibly difficult.

Chromophores are particles that absorb certain wavelengths (colors) of light.” Click here to view the first image in this week’s funny work pictures gallery.
