This is the hot new razor (literally)...

Just when you think shaving technology has reached its peak, another innovation comes along. But this time we’re not talking about yet another blade—we’re talking about the addition of heat to ensure the closest, most comfortable shave yet.

Launching on Kickstarter today, the SmartRazor replicates the old-school technique of using a hot towel to soften hair and create an optimal shaving environment—without the extra step. Powered by a rechargeable battery that delivers heat directly to the blades, in turn making it 200% easier to cut through stubble with less tugging and irritation. Since I know some of you may be wondering about the blade-replacement situation, yes, you have to use SmartRazor cartridges to enjoy a warm shave.

The SmartRazor has an estimated delivery date of November 2017, but if you back the Kickstarter now you can get the razor, charger and two cartridges for $79. Our calendar is marked because we can’t wait to try it and do a leg-by-leg comparison… What about you?
