A razor is a bladed tool primarily used in the removal of unwanted body hair through the act of shaving. Kinds of razors include straight razors, disposable razors and electric razors.
While the razor has been in existence since the Bronze Age, its modern counterpart was invented in the 18th century, and the 1930s saw the invention of electric razors. In the 21st century, the safety razor - electric or not - is most commonly used by both men and women, but other kinds still exist.
Razors have been identified from many Bronze Age cultures. These were made of bronze or obsidian and were generally oval in shape, with a small tang protruding from one of the short ends.
Various forms of razors were used throughout history, which are different in appearance but similar in use to modern straight razors. In prehistoric times clam shells, shark teeth, and flint were sharpened and used to shave with. Drawings of such blades were found in prehistoric caves. Some tribes still use blades made of flint to this day. Excavations in Egypt have unearthed solid gold and copper razors in tombs dating back to the 4th millennium BC. The Roman historian Livy reported that the razor was introduced in ancient Rome in the 6th century BC. by legendary king Lucius Tarquinius Priscus. Priscus was ahead of his time because razors did not come to general use until a century later.
Sharp or SHARP may refer to:
Sliding into the vortex
Holding on to core building walls
Unstable seeping down through the crevice
I've been here before
Creeping down through the crevice
I've seen there before
Fragile these teeth are razor sharp
Been through been through the vortex
Dissolve and disintegrate
Icicle the river is deep underneath
Is all you see
Draws you in from near or far
Take me down through the crevice
I'm not here anymore
Creeping down through
Come in through the crevice
Been through walls leaving it all
Into been through the vortex
And i'm so insoluble feel unstable
In at the core searching
Through for perspective what your looking
For these teeth are razor sharp
These teeth are razor sharp
Razor sharp sharp
