Do not try this at home!

IOL is not only a news service, but also tends to post patent-pending type inventions.

This morning's one scares the heck out of me!

It's a gas-operated razor!!! From the site:
The tool contains a hollow U-shaped blade that folds out from around the handle, which is fitted with an internal flame nozzle to direct a gas flame along a narrow open slot, provided near the bottom edge of the blade.

A control button when depressed, activates a piezo-electric crystal that generates a spark to ignite gas that is fed from the lighter to the blade’s flame nozzle. The close proximity of the flame, along the blade opening, singes off any hair stubble protruding through the narrow slot while the blade is repeatedly stroked over the skin to remove the hair.
That's not something I want to try, at home or anywhere else!
