Unlock Method
Defeat Satan as Eve

Razor Blade is an unlockable activated item.

Effect

• On use, takes a full heart of health and grants +1.2 damage for the current room.

Notes

• Eve starts with this item after unlocking it and donating 439 coins to the Greed 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.
• If Isaac doesn't have a full Red Heart or a filled Bone Heart, then Soul, Black, and empty Bone Hearts are taken instead.
• The effect stacks with itself and Red Patch, which provides a similar benefit.
• Using this item does not affect Devil or Angel room chances.
• Using this item as The Lost will result in death.
• When picked up, Isaac's tears turn red, though this change is purely cosmetic.
  • Using this item in the Greed mode Ultra Greed boss room will result in Isaac losing 2-4 coins and dropping 1-3 pennies on the floor similar to being hit by any of the greed enemies.

Synergies

• Isaac's Heart: Isaac cannot take damage from the Razor Blade, allowing for infinite uses of the item.
• 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.
• Old Bandage / Shard of Glass: Isaac has a chance to drop a red heart while using the item.
• Whore of Babylon: The Razor Blade can be used to activate this item's effect by doing enough damage to get Isaac down to half a red heart (or one red heart as Eve), providing a big damage boost for the current room at the cost of health.

Interactions

• Car Battery: No effect.
• Shield/Invulnerability: Will not protect against this item's damage.

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.
