    Skarp is redefining something that we all use, a razor. While it looks
    like a conventional razor, it works in a completely different way.
    Instead of using the old fashioned blade, Skarp razor uses lasers
    to cut your hair, and that is what makes this design very interesting.
    ...
    The laser is designed to cut through the hair at a very close shave,
    making it feel smoother than ever. Another interesting aspect of
    this design is that it is claimed to leave no scratches, razor burns,
    infections, itches, accidental cuts and irritations...

		      .... After over a decade of research, Morgan
    [Gustavsson MBBS] discovered a chromophore in human hair that gets cut
    when it comes in contact with a certain wavelength of light. These
    so-called chromophores are particles within the human hair that
    have the ability to absorb certain wavelengths of light. What is
    interesting about this discovery is the fact that this chromophore is
    present in every single human being, meaning that this laser could be
    used to cut the hair of any person, irrespective of gender or race.
