answer: sharp and cunning

the excerpt discusses the experiences the speaker has had since going to the west. he explains that he has had to compete with the "sharpest wits" (very clever and capable people). he also adds that because of this experience, he has had a "razor-edge" put on him. he argues that in order to compete with those "sharp wits," he has had to become cunning and clever himself. the comparison plays with the meanings of the word "sharp" as both a clever and cunning person, and a characteristic of a razor.
