Hasta La Gadget!

I’m a firm believer that if or when my hair starts to recede, I’m just going to shave it all off – I’d rather go bald than look silly with patches of my hair missing from the top of my head, I just don’t think I could pull it off. Hopefully by then these three guys and their DIY head-shaving helmet will have secured the appropriate licensing required to sell their product on late night infomercials. 

The Shaving Helmet, as they call it, isn’t linked anywhere, doesn’t have a product Web site, and doesn’t seem to have the backing of any actual company. This video surfaced on YouTube a couple of days ago and was an instant hit. If the helmet – which promises to shave your head safely and smoothly with four blades in the top of the helmet and a system to automatically dispense shaving cream on your head while they work – is actually real, it could be a great invention.  

At the same time, the video could very well be a viral ad for some new Gillette or Schick product that will be released when the video is at the height of its fame. Until the details become clear, you have to admit: that’s a pretty cool invention. Hit the jump to see the video.
