shaves

Uses a blade

Shaves is the plural of shave and the third-person singular verb.

A shave removes hair by cutting it close to the skin with a razor or blade: He shaves every morning.

To shave something down is to reduce it gradually: We shaved a few seconds off our time.

A close shave is a narrow escape from danger.
