Razor
        Besides other usages, the practice of shaving the head after the completion of a vow must have created among the Jews a necessity for the special trade of a barber. Le 14:8; Nu 6:9,18; 8:7; Jud 13:5; Isa 7:20; Eze 5:1; Ac 18:18 The instruments of his work were probably, as in modern times, the razor, the basin, the mirror, and perhaps also the scissors. See 2Sa 14:26 Like the Levites, the Egyptian priests were accustomed to shave their whole bodies.
