Hasta La Gadget!

“Shaving Helmet”. When you see those words, you are likely struck with the same terror that can clearly be seen on the test subject’s face. The fact that he is called “Kenny” just makes a fatal disaster seem all the more probable.

The helmet is the amazing invention of the mysterious Boris, friend of YouTuber Mattinbrooklyn. Take a look at in in action, and behold the fear in Kenny’s eyes:

If you daren’t watch the clip, here’s a spoiler. They don’t kill Kenny. Instead, everything goes (literally) smoothly. The helmet is for shaving heads, not faces, and has a “four-blade array” inside, with each blade running on Teflon-coated, aluminum rails. Two servo-motors, mounted on the sides like Princess Leia’s hair, swipe the blades across the victim’s head, and round the back is a shaving cream injector. The blades scour the skull of the shavee for a full twenty seconds before the indicator lights say that the torture is done.

Astonishingly, the helmet is not only safe but actually administers a decent trim. There’s still no way you’d catch me putting my own melon inside it, though. One note from the video: Judging by his shiny pate, Boris himself has clearly been testing the helmet. That must have given Kenny a little boost to his confidence. Imagine if Boris instead had long, flowing locks.

Does anyone have poor Kenny’s contact details? I need somebody to test out my latest invention – bulletproof contact-lenses. What could possibly go wrong?
