Have you ever watched something and been so blown away by it, not because of how amazing it is… But how ridiculous it is? Jon over at Can You Dig It tipped us off to this video featuring Kotaro Tanaka attempting to shave… while on his BMX bike… inside of a zero gravity plane. That’s really all you need to know.
“The Philips Japan Extreme Shaving Tournament
In September 2015 we produced for Philips Electronics Ltd., Japan two very commercials. 2 Japanese athletes experienced the feeling of weightlessness and shaved themself under these special conditions.
