Dull Razor

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

Effect[]

Hurts Isaac without taking away health, activating any items that trigger upon taking damage.

Notes[]

As using the Dull Razor will grant invincibility frames like normal damage, this item can be used to enter Curse Rooms ( or use Blood Donation Machines and Devil Beggars) for free.

Interactions[]

For a full list of items that work with Dull Razor, see the list of damage triggered items. Note that any specific extra conditions the items may have for their activation still apply.

Blanket / Holy Mantle / Wooden Cross: Absorbs the "hit", wasting both items.
- Dull Razor ignores the shield, giving its normal effect without wasting the shield.
Book 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.
Car Battery: Dull Razor activates twice, but "damage" is only dealt once, not triggering synergies a second time.
- Dull Razor activates twice, triggering synergies a second time.
Cone Head: Can block the "hit" Dull Razor inflicts, causing no effect.
Crown of Light: Disables the effect for the current room.
Habit: Doesn't charge Dull Razor itself.
- Habit + Schoolbag: The secondary item will be charged.
- Habit + Car Battery: The second activation causes Habit to charge Dull Razor.
Isaac's Heart: Completely nullifies the effect of Dull Razor.
Purity: Cancels the current effect of Purity, allowing a different aura to be gained instead.
