Dull Razor is an unlockable activated item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †.

Effect

  • Hurts Isaac without taking away health, giving him invincibility frames equal to a full heart damage and activating any items that trigger upon getting hit.

Notes

  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) The item will cost 10 cents if found in a ShopShop
  • As using the Dull Razor will grant extra invincibility frames like normal damage, this item can be used to enter Curse RoomCurse Room for free, or, with proper timing, allow Isaac to avoid taking damage from an enemy or obstacle.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) The invincibility frames allow Isaac to use Blood Donation Machine.pngBlood Donation Machines and Devil Beggar.pngDevil Beggars for free.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Dull Razor ignores shields granted by Holy MantleHoly Mantle, and similar items.

Synergies

  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Book of VirtuesBook of Virtues: Spawns a grey wisp on the middle ring. The wisp doesn't fire any tears. Whenever Isaac takes damage, there is a chance that the damage is negated and one of the wisps is destroyed instead. "Damage" taken from using Dull Razor does not count for this effect.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Car BatteryCar Battery: Dull Razor activates twice, triggering on-damage items twice. Invincibility frames are the same.
  • Cambion ConceptionCambion Conception: Dull Razor triggers a damage, allowing for free familiar spawn on repeated use.
