Laser Shaving

 Never worry about trimming again.

Instead of worrying about cutting yourself and having to buy new blades all the time, you should have a laser shaver. A small device with face-recognition software would zap your hairs for you in an instant. Can be programmed for hairstyles as well. Also available as legshaver for women/swimmers. Great for hairy people who can't reach around their backs with a conventional shaver.

       I was recently going to suggest an application that could be classed as 'laser shaving' for the humble weapon of the jedi;the lightsaber. Thought the con's caused if you cut yourself might outweigh the pro's though.

       I'll do the idea, but what the hell is the soundtrack of?

       the sound, I do not do sound, bzzzzzzzzzzuuuuuuurrrrrhh! thing

       It sounds so painfull. The laser would need to be really close to the face; likely close enough to singe the face too.

       Shaving with a lightsaber is half-baked in the game 'Jedi Knight' anyway...if you leave the character standing around for a while while holding the lightsaber, he shaves.

       Seriously? cool!

       Could have all sorts of optical sensors to register where to zap or not - frequency of laser pulse could be adjusted to destroy hair and not harm skin. This works when you hold your hand over a Bar B Q and all your hairs are burnt away.
