What does RAZOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
An instrument fitted with a very sharp blade, used for shaving or cutting hair close to the skin.
A razor works by drawing a fine, hard edge across the skin at a shallow angle to slice through individual hairs without tearing them. Historically a single folding steel blade, the razor has since taken many forms, including safety razors with replaceable blades and electric razors that use small rotating or oscillating cutters. The word also extends metaphorically to anything sharply decisive, as in a razor-thin margin. Handling a bare-bladed razor carelessly can easily cut the skin, which is why safety designs became popular once shaving became a daily habit for many people.
