Materialdesign: Razor Blade

[CoDEmanX]

I have:

• [x] [Searched all issues](https://github.com/Templarian/MaterialDesign/issues) to make sure there isn't a request for this icon.
• [x] [Searched the current library](https://materialdesignicons.com/) to make sure the icon doesn't exist.
• [x] Only requested a single icon (or a few near-identical ones) in this issue.

Usage

Tool for cutting in the context of a non-linear video editor - it's called razor blade tool in popular software, so box-cutter doesn't "cut" it.

Examples

For larger sizes this would work, but at native size there is way too much detail and it's hardly recognizable as razor blade:

I believe this is too much detail in the middle and is lost at 1x

I don't understand how that's a razor blade. Each edge looks like the razor blades "handle"?

[MrGrigri]

I believe what @CoDEmanX wants is a razor for shaving. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_razor

[annymosse]

i think he have a right and its much better to have like this picture as icon

[goyney]

Yeah, I think the original proposal is too niche. A regular razor blade could be useful, and if you want to depict shaving, a shaving razor as pictured above would be more recognizable.

@goyney which the best icon designer for linux users ? sometimes i have ideas to make them whenver i don't know the right and the good way to go ahead

[CoDEmanX]

If you Google for icon razor blade this is what you get:

Adobe Premiere:

DaVinci Resolve:

I am not aware of any software which would use a safety razor, scissors or knife icon.

zhen i export it as a SVG file its look like this :

@annymosse If you have a suggestion or contribution for a new icon, please create a new issue for it. This issue is tracking the suggestion of a razor blade type icon.

[annymosse]

ok @goyney thanks, whenever i just tried to contributing few files when i can :+1:

[annymosse]

RAZOR.zip

[MrGrigri]

@annymosse, I love your enthusiasm to help, however, there are strict guidelines that we follow. You can have a look at them here. Following up on the issue, what is being requested isn't a shaving razor, but a general razor used in programs to denote splicing, trimming, or cutting.

:smile: i feel of myself stupid ,thanks @MrGrigri i will take a look , it may guid me to help on the future :+1:

[JamesCoyle]

What if you simplify it a bit?

(not a vector)

[goyney]

Still think we can't just add that. If we add razor blades, we need the more common razor in addition to the proposed safety razor.
