What a crazy week it’s been!
Thank you all for your continued support! We’re so thrilled you’re as passionate about the Skarp Razor as we are!
Some people have asked for clarification on our suspension from Kickstarter. We’d love to tell you more but Kickstarter haven’t responded to us at all. We know as much as you do.
Our campaign was initially approved without any issues. After a week we were asked to post a better demonstration, which we did. Kickstarter told us it looked great & they were happy.
Last week Kickstarter asked for a demo cutting white hair, which we duly posted. Then, 2-3 weeks into the campaign and without any warning it was suspended, because we are offering the final product as a reward, different than the working prototype in the demos.
In this endeavor Kickstarter de facto applied this rule in a way they have not applied to other similar campaigns. It is our impression that they caved in to special interests, but we also appreciate that it is their right to do so.
Indiegogo have been incredible & we’ve been so impressed with them so far. We’re very happy to be on Indiegogo & hope many of those left Kickstarter disappointed, will come join us here!

We are working on some more demonstration videos for everyone & should have something next week.
The team is looking forward to production now & we’re finalizing production agreements. The extra week campaigning on Indiegogo shouldn’t affect our scheduled delivery of march 2016.
Thanks again!
