Razor
Razor blade, Straight razor, Razors
Made for fine, careful work, a razor rewards a steady hand more than strength. Dream razors often point to precision: a job that leaves almost no margin for error, or a choice that needs a delicate touch. The old phrase 'on a razor's edge' fits these dreams well, describing a narrow line between two outcomes. A clean, sharp razor says you feel in control and able to handle detail. A dull one may come from frustration with methods or routines that no longer do the job and keep rubbing you the wrong way.
Dream variations

- A razor blade left lying aroundA small risk has been left where anyone could stumble on it, like a careless remark or a loose end. Tidy it away before it catches someone.
- A dull razorYour usual sharpness has worn down, perhaps after a long, tiring stretch. Rest first; things will go more smoothly once you've recharged.
- Buying a new razorYou're getting ready for a fresh start. Put one thing in order before the big day.
