He saw it glistening in the moonlight and picked it up. His theory was that it had been put there by men from the moon. Their intention had been to lay in wait until someone walked by, whereupon they would leap out and slit the throat of the passerby. However, they had become bored and wandered off just minutes before William came along.
He used the razor to shave his scalp but it wasn't very good so he threw it away.
Or not.
