razor
Barber's cutting tool
A razor is a tool with a sharp blade designed for shaving hair from the body, particularly the face.
Traditional razors have a single exposed blade; modern safety razors encase the blade in a protective housing.
Electric razors use oscillating or rotating blades behind a guard.
Figuratively, razor suggests extreme sharpness or precision: razor-sharp wit, razor-thin margins.
Occam's razor is a principle favoring the simplest explanation among competing theories.
He nicked himself with the razor this morning.
