A sharp instrument used for shaving facial hair, or a modern brand name for computer gaming peripherals like mice and keyboards.
From Old English racor or Middle English rasour, from Old French rasoir, derived from Latin radere (to scrape or shave).
The word 'razor' has kept the same basic meaning for nearly 1,000 years—a shaving tool—but the brand Razer (spelled with a 'z') is a modern gaming company that cleverly used the historic word to suggest sharp, cutting-edge technology.
