Straight razor

The straight razor is a weapon .
==Characteristics==
An old-fashioned shaving razor with a polished wooden handle, repurposed as a one-handed bladed melee weapon. Though its blade is short, it is lightweight and can deliver several slashing hits in rapid succession. It also deals bonus critical hit damage at an increased critical chance. However, a low durability means it can quickly be reduced in effectiveness until broken and in need of repair. It is considered a holdout weapon.
===Special attack===
The straight razor has a special Back Slash attack that does 70% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 3 fewer action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).
It is possible to execute Back Slash outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.
===Durability===
The straight razor can successfully strike about 370 times from full condition before breaking.
