Razor Blade is an unlockable activated item.
Effects
- On use, damages Isaac for a full heart of health and grants +1.2 damage for the current room.
- Razor Blade takes Red Hearts before other heart types.
- When used more than once in the same room, damage taken is lowered to half a heart.
Notes
- Eve starts with this item after unlocking it and donating 439 coins to the Greed Donation Machine.
- Both conditions must be met for Eve to hold it; donating 439 coins before defeating Satan with Eve will wrongly state on Eve's profile on the Character Selection Screen that she has it equipped.
- Eve starts with the Razor Blade if unlocked from the Greed Machine, even if Satan has not been defeated with Eve.
- If Isaac has half a red heart left, Razor Blade will damage other heart types.
- It is possible to die using Razor Blade if Isaac does not have enough hearts.
- The effect stacks with itself and Red Patch, which provides a similar benefit.
- Using this item does not affect Devil Room/Angel Room chances.
- Using the Razor Blade grants immunity frames; this allows access to Curse Rooms without losing soul hearts.
- Using this item in the Ultra Greed boss room will remove 2-4 coins and drop 1-3 pennies on the floor, as if Isaac was hit by an enemy attack.
- Using this item as The Lost will kill The Lost, even if the protective effect from Holy Mantle is still active.
Synergies
- Invulnerability / Shield: The Razor can be used at no cost while invulnerability / shield is active, allowing damage to be significantly increased for the room.
- The Book of Belial + Birthright as Judas / Dark Judas: Invokes the effect of The Necronomicon effect along with the original effect.
- Book of Virtues: Spawns red wisps in the middle ring. Wisps have higher health.
- Isaac's Heart: Isaac cannot take damage from the Razor Blade, allowing for infinite uses of the item.
- Old Bandage / Shard of Glass: Isaac has a chance to drop a red heart while using the item.
- Panic Button: Self-damage occurs before enemy damage, making it almost impossible to lose Angel or Devil chance.
- The Polaroid: Isaac takes no damage while invincible, allowing for repeated free uses of the item.
- The Wafer: Isaac loses half a heart instead of a full heart.
- Whore of Babylon/Dark Prince's Crown: Can lower Isaac's health on demand to activate the bonus.
Interactions
- Car Battery: No effect.
- Holy Mantle / Similar effects: The shield is not broken, but Razor Blade still damages Isaac.
- Shield / Invulnerability: Will not protect against this item's damage.
- Tainted Samson / Berserk!: The Razor Blade can be used in order to gain a massive damage boost in a room as long as there's a source of HP within reach.
In-game Footage
Trivia
- This item is used in Darkness Falls (challenge #4).
- The item itself is a reference to the act of cutting one's self, usually at the wrists, to inflict self-harm or to commit suicide by loss of blood.
- Isaac's appearance after using the item is just like the Dople.
- In the original The Binding of Isaac, Razor Blade was unlocked by defeating Mom's Heart/ It Lives as Eve.
Bugs
Bug! | As Eve, there is a very unlikely chance that using this to activate Whore of Babylon will not activate it, despite being at the correct health to do so. |
