Razer Wants You To Put Your Best, Sharpest Face Forward With… The Razer Razor

Razer has unveiled what might be its most cutting-edge product yet: the ‘Razer Razer’.

True to the brand’s offerings, the razor looks like a computer mouse, and that’s because it’s the “world’s first shaving mouse,” according to the consumer electronics brand. You can click with it and also run it against your beard for a clean-shaven face. A razer-sharp idea, if there ever is one.

But why? Well, two reasons. Firstly, Razer posits that overgrown vines on the face can cause confidence levels to dip even when you’re behind the screen. And secondly, the Razer razor is part of an April Fools’ prank, because puns are some of the most winning forms of jokes.

Despite it being a gag, the Razer Razer is still tricked out with some hair-splitting specs. It’s powered by Razer Chroma RGB and is said to contain 1,337, ergonomically-angled micro-blades to remove every strand, allowing you to “feel sharp, play sharp.”

The razor-mouse also boasts a shaving speed of 360 FPS (that’s follicles per second) to deliver “smooth, seamless strokes.”

“After shaving with the Razer Razer, test subjects have reported a marked increase in gaming performance of up to 69%,” the brand continues. With that said, the gadget’s performance buff gradually fades as your hair grows out.

For all its strengths, the Razer Razer seems to be under-tested and has only been used by staff. As such, the company claims it is looking for beta testers. But be warned—in the product’s FAQ section, Razer answers the question “Were any Razer employees harmed during testing?” with “Define ‘harmed.’”

What next? Apple apples and Google goggles?
