Razor is a mountain in the Municipality of Bovec in northwestern Slovenia, part of the alpine ranges that rise above the Soča Valley. It is a notable peak for local mountaineering and ridge hiking.
Routes to the summit involve exposed ridgelines and alpine terrain that attract experienced hikers and climbers rather than casual walkers. From the ridge there are broad views over the Soča Valley and neighbouring high peaks.
The peak is a product of alpine uplift and glacial sculpting and has long been used by climbers and shepherds in the region. Traditional alpine routes and marked trails provide access in summer months.
Razor sits above the town of Bovec in the Slovenian Julian-Alpine area, within mountain terrain of the Municipality of Bovec.
