Remember that laser razor? Yeah, it got kicked off Kickstarter

Last month, the laser razor from Skarp Technologies amassed over $750,000 in funding during the first week of its Kickstarter campaign.

But on Tuesday, it was kicked off Kickstarter despite having reached over $4 million in funding. Hours later, it reemerged on Kickstarter's rival, Indiegogo.

This happened because Skarp apparently doesn't even have a working prototype. Kickstarter sent Mashable a copy of the email sent to campaign backers following the suspension:

This is a message from Kickstarter’s Integrity team. We’re writing to notify you that the Skarp Laser Razor project has been suspended, and your pledge has been canceled
