    Would be useless. Guillotine blades were thick, heavy, and had that ironic angled shape for the specific purpose of lobbing off heads efficiently. Razor blade would be terrible at that, no matter how big.

    Guillotine’s before the angled blade were shitty.

      You mean lopping. Lobbing is when you’re throwing something (usually high)—which is a funny mental image. Lol
