Communication Etiquette Part 1.

#EnglishLady

[Ini Emmanson @iniemmanson]

If it is the type with a handle and a replaceable blade/head, you can also call it a razor or shaving razor.

If you mean the small disposable one commonly sold in shops, razor is still the natural word.

[Ini Emmanson @iniemmanson]

If you’re talking about the object you hold and use to remove hair, the usual English word is razor, not shaving stick.

For example:

I bought a razor to shave my legs. ✅
I need a new razor for shaving. ✅
Shaving stick ❌ — not the usual name for the razor itself.

@goodycreations Have a beautiful weekend, dear.

Moses’ law
Socrates’ philosophy

Add apostrophe + s (’s) to many modern names:
James’s car
Charles’s speech
Nicholas’s passport
Elias’s idea
Davis’s report
Francis’s garden
Marcus’s decision

I hope this helps 👍😊

Why do we write Jesus’ instead of Jesus’s?

Many style guides treat Jesus as a classical or biblical name, so they recommend adding only an apostrophe:

Don’t use this for modern names please.
This is common with only classical and biblical names.
Jesus’ disciples
James’ letter
