But scything has an element of slicing in it as you can read here (quoted from the SRP wiki):
The scything motion
The easiest way to move a razor over the skin, is to guide it in a direction, perpendicular to the edge. As a result the razor “chops” the hairs, much like an axe chops a young branch off a tree, with one blow. Out of a physical viewpoint this way of severing something requires the most force and is the hardest on the cutting edge. By adding a slight slicing motion to the blade, the cutting action becomes more effective.Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr.
