Interesting product...  wonder if it can be used as a shaver by men?

Its pretty much just an offline power supply , a light detector, a big storeage  capacitor, a micro, and a xenon flash tube. We all know the power supply is certain to have come from China. Now that the product is established in the market, the Chinese will have jacked up the price of the power supply. –And the company that owns this product will just keep paying  the higher price……they won’t go to another company in China and try and get a cheaper one. They’ll stick with what they have and just jack up the price of the product.

It would be seen as too  risky to make  an engineering change….by the non-Engineers  that manage the company.

You know nothing about how the electronics industry works. Why do you just keep making things up?

Probably, although it would likely be very tedious to shave with this. One downside is probably also that hairs are likely to grow back with less density or maybe even disappear altogether in some spots, which you don't necessarily want if you ever want to grow a beard back someday.

This is similar I suppose to my discovery that if I pointed my large Nikon flash close to my skin and set it off, smoke would come off the hairs  :-DD

When I was a lad there was a place in London that would numb your skin and individually pluck out all the hairs on your face to leave a wonderfully clean shaven look. The snag is the hairs take a remarkably short time to start regrowing.
