Purpose of change

This adds a bit of actual utility to shaving razors besides just flavor, and makes them a bit less hassle to craft.

I'd planned at first to also give this improvement to shaving kits too, but cutting quality injects use actions that would consume soap for no good reason.

Describe the solution

  1. Added cutting and fine cutting quality of 1 to shaving razors. Since the recipe uses just 1 razor blade, this basically assumes you're making an improvised straight razor when you stick it on a handle.
  2. Updated the recipe to allow using a splinter wood, bone, or human bone for the handle instead of just a plastic chunk, since no heating or plastic mold is involved you're presumably just mounting it in a primitive handle to have a way to use it without cutting your fingers open.
  3. Added an uncraft for regular shaving kits, yielding a shaving razor, 2 spare blades, a hairbrush (standing in for a shaving brush), and an empty small plastic bottle. Good for salvaging it for materials (and extra blades if I ever add any weapon uses for them) since can't use the kit as a cutting tool as-is.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  1. Making shaving razors have fine cutting 2 so they're more like a direct player-craftable counterpart to the x-acto knife, since making the jump from fine cutting 1 to fine cutting 2 is much more valuable than getting the quality at all.
  2. Adding a recipe for x-acto knives that uses higher skill level, proper plastic molding, and a razor blade so the item also has further use for crafting progression.
  3. Silly ideas like adding throwing damage to razor blades, razor blade macuahuitls, or whatever to make the item more useful in other ways.
  4. Accepting that soap is an ideal lubricant for blades and letting shaving razors stashed in shaving kits have crafting qualities despite the resulting charges_per_use issues that'd cause.

Testing

Checked affected files for syntax and lint errors.
