Thread: Anyone here ever used a razor as a weapon?

I'm sure it would make quick work living up to it's name as a "Cut throat razor". Granted, it's not a combat Ka Bar knife, or Glock, but it'd work.
How many guys who chimed in have actual combat experience?

Having been in the Army during the Vietnam business and having trained and qualified on several serious weapons, my choice of tool for nastiness would be an M-60 machine gun. I don't know if it is used any more, but against soft targets it was utterly devastating. Any target I acquired out to 1000 meters, I owned. Were there unanswered questions within 100 meters, I'd refer them to my 1911-A1. Later, when I had the choice of carrying it or an M-16; I chose the .45. With any sort of anticipation or preparation, I'd never think of bringing a knife to a gun fight. If it were a razor fight, I'd still bring my .45.

For flights of fancy or when in straights and carrying only something with an edge - it wouldn't be a razor, that's for sure.

This ain't too off topic, is it?
