Boris, a friend of YouTube user mattinbrooklyn made a helmet that will shave a person's head in twenty seconds. Activating it spreads shaving cream over the head. Then four electric razors inside pass back and forth, giving the user, as you can see at the end of the video, a clean shave.

UPDATE 2/16/11: The video is a hoax! Or more specifically, a viral marketing stunt.

From what I was able to see of the mechanism, the resulting shave is impossible. I call bullshit. Note the camera moves away from the man being shaved for quite a while.

Let's see the guy with the camera and long hair get his head shaved in 20 secs than I will believe it.

I think this is probably a viral video for HeadBlades (the yellow razor thing used in the helmet).

I totally expected to see him start screaming and blood to start gushing seconds after putting on the helmet.

Shouldn't they power the helmet with a lemon first?

When you're introducing an innovation you shouldn't move the camera away. Just saying.
