Smith's Bible Dictionary
RazorBesides 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. (Leviticus 14:8; Numbers 6:9,18; 8:7; Judges 13:5; Isaiah 7:20; Ezekiel 5:1; Acts 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 (2 Samuel 14:26) Like the Levites, the Egyptian priests were accustomed to shave their whole bodies.
Easton's Bible Dictionary
The Nazarites were forbidden to make use of the razor (
Numbers 6:5;
Judges 13:5). At their consecration the Levites were shaved all over with a razor (
Numbers 8:7; Comp.
Psalm 52:2;
Ezek. 5:1).
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
1. (
n.) A keen-edged knife of peculiar shape, used in shaving the hair from the face or the head.
