Brazilian Roomba

Depilate while you hibernate.

Simply, a small, battery-powered razor that crawls all over you while you slumber, removing all body hair.

Comes with a special, adjustable helmet, to prevent your scalp hair and eyebrows being removed without your knowledge.

If you listen carefully, you'll hear the sounds of Mardi Gras, wafting up from your nether regions.

       when I saw the title, I thought a regular Roomba that would play samba music and choreograph itself appropriately... more entertaining to watch than your regular Roomba - - but I like this idea too.   

       Although the bikini area may pose special challenges...

       Simply genious.

       Loudest laugh I've had in a long while. Completely scary and disgusting and frightening and not a very good idea to do... Brilliant   

       NO MORE MEN WITH BACK HAIR, EVER IN THE WORLD!

       I dunno about all you other Bakers who voted for this, but I don't sleep in a perfectly still position. I roll over, I toss and turn. This thing would slice me to bits.   

       Now, i do realize there are 2 methods that could be used by this, and one of them might work safely. As described, however, there's simply not enough detail, and I'm voting based on worst-case scenario until UB explains how this sucker works. Is it a regualr, straight-blade style razor that gets run over you snow-plow style, or is it one of those ouchless electric razors that has a perforated foil covering the blade to prevent nicks and cuts?   

       I'd like to assume it's the latter, but assuming anything that involves UB sounds like a recipe for disaster.

       Twin foil mesh shaver. Safe and ouchless, self-sharpening, so it doesn't pull your pubes out and wake you up.

       how does it work?   

       how does it stay attached to your body?   

       if its going to crawl all over you why cant it do other things?

       So - not a small robot that dances a Brazilian rumba while vacuuming. Shame.

       //how does it work? //   

       Well, if you're old enough to use a razor and you've ever tried an electric shaver...   

       //how does it stay attached to your body? //   

       van der Waals Force, just like a gecko.   

       //if its going to crawl all over you why cant it do other things? //   

       What? Like spell and punctuate? That's what spellcheckers are for, son.   

       Don't you have an imagination?
UnaBubba, Aug 28 2009
  

       I wanna know what else [vfrackis] wants it to do? Pluck nose hair? Or... uhm, other dastardly deeds.

       Perhaps it could take the covers from his schoolbooks and apply them to porn magazines?
UnaBubba, Aug 28 2009
  

       I'm still not sold on the idea... but given that my fishbone was based on the safety factor, and that seems to have been addressed quite nicely, I'm neutralizing my vote.
21 Quest, Aug 28 2009
  

       No-one suggested you have to use it, [21Q]. It's voluntary, just like LASER hair removal.
UnaBubba, Aug 29 2009
  

       That's why I'm not voting against it.
