Trochaic

Explanation:

"Trochaic" refers to the existence of "trochees," or "trochaic feet." A trochee is a long syllable, or stressed syllable, followed by a short, or unstressed, one. In the case of "razor," the emphasis is in the syllable "RA-," while "-zor" is unstressed. This is in contrast with iambic words, which are more common in English. Because of this, poems and other texts that use trochaic meters often sound unnatural to the ear.
