SmartRazor is the heated razor that promises you a hot shave every morning

SmartRazor Introduction Short Video Clip
For the majority of men, shaving is a morning necessity. But it doesn’t have to be: under the right circumstances, having a shave can be something enjoyable, rather than a chore to get out of the way as quickly as possible.

That’s where SmartRazor, a new project currently raising funds on Kickstarter, comes into play. Created by two inventor brothers, Lou and Pete Tomassetti, it’s a razor with heated blades that promises — in the words of its creators — to “slice through hair effortlessly with virtually no tug and pull, like a warm knife through butter.”

“With SmartRazor shaving feels good; you get super performance plus warm soothing shaving comfort at the same time,” Lou Tomassetti told Digital Trends. “The dreaded morning task of shaving now becomes a warm personal grooming moment. It truly is an awesome feeling to shave with SmartRazor. The automatic heated blades stay warm continuously throughout your entire shave.”

Tomassetti said that he and his brother have been in the razor industry for twenty years. “We were drawn to this space because we saw a gap in innovation,” he continued. “Many daily used products were taking advantage of new technologies coming forth, and yet razors seemed not to.”

They certainly set about trying to change that. The unisex SmartRazor is the end result of 12 years of research and development, with 60 patents so far issued and pending in the U.S. and other countries around the world. It’s powered by a single AA battery, rechargeable using a stand, and which keeps the blades heated to a comfortably warm temperature throughout.

After previously showing their invention at the consumer electronics tradeshow CES, its creators are now looking to raise $95,000 on Kickstarter to ship an end product.

Prices start at $69, which gives you a 50-percent discount from the eventual recommended retail price.

Here’s why you should consider upgrading to a smart thermometer

Smart thermometers for detecting fever may not be the most popular products bearing the “smart” moniker, but that doesn’t mean they’re unworthy of a spot in your home. These affordable devices make it easy to monitor your temperature and track the progress of your fever – many even allow you to message data directly to your physician for a quick diagnosis. They might not be a perfect fit for all households, but here's why many families would benefit from picking up a fancy new smart thermometer.
Forget about remembering

When you’re sick, daily tasks turn into monumental roadblocks. The last thing you need when under the weather is another job, and that’s where smart thermometers can help. A big selling point of smart thermometers is the ability to track your temperature using a personalized profile. Not only will it record all your readings, but after inputting a few personal parameters (such as height, weight, and gender), your smart thermometer will be able to tell if your temperatures fall within a healthy range or if you officially have a fever.
