Because that’s something we’ve been needing. Allegedly all that’s needed is a

Inspired by a Kickstarter for a laser razor that never materialized, Youtuber Allen Pan decided to attempt making one himself. The results? Less than impressive. The 5W laser manages to burn through a single hair in several seconds, making it incredibly impractical for anybody with more than 2-4 hairs to
