Can't cut "down" a tree.

Depends how many razors and how much time you got

Tree death by a thousand paper cuts

Seedlings and saplings are easy to cut down with just one razor.

Don't doubt me.

What if you fired it at a high velocity at a tree with a width shorter than the blades?

Not sure that would be considered a "tree" at that point. More like a sapling.

And even then, I guess it would depend on just how fast it was fired. A razor blade has little mass, so it would need to be going at a decent velocity to gain enough force to cut through even a 2 inch sapling.

Yeah the phrasing really lets down the sentiment here. Just like a sharp axe can cut hair no problem, they should've said you wouldn't use it for a haircut
