razor

razor
An instrument with a sharp cutting edge for shaving a man's face. It is an article of common domestic use, and while no one could be held guilty of the offense of carrying a dangerous and deadly weapon concealed about his person, simply because he so carried a razor, yet, if surrounding circumstances would tend to show that he carried it as a weapon of offense, he might become liable to the charge, because a razor, when thus used, is notoriously a weapon dangerous to life. See Brown v State, 105 Miss 367, 62 So 353.
