Kid after shave primarily, one using scissors (7)
I believe the answer is:
snipper
'one using scissors' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'kid after shave primarily' is the wordplay.
'kid' becomes 'nipper' (synonyms).
'after shave' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'primarily' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'nipper' after 's' is 'SNIPPER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
