Light: the blade drives down through the clip and stops dead at its floor; only then do the two halves spring apart, past their place, and settle, while the blade pulls straight back out. Strong: the blade first lifts to wind up, slams down and jolts once on impact, and the halves burst farther apart and recoil twice before they settle. The halves stay rigid; the preview reset fades it back."

# Split layer animated icon

The razor splits the clip in two. Light: the blade drives down through the clip and stops dead at its floor; only then do the two halves spring apart, past their place, and settle, while the blade pulls straight back out. Strong: the blade first lifts to wind up, slams down and jolts once on impact, and the halves burst farther apart and recoil twice before they settle. The halves stay rigid; the preview reset fades it back.
