Would you use the  “he/she” verb ending or the “ they” verb ending?

I see several people have asked this or similar question. I’ve read one available answer and am still confused, and I continually run up against this des vs les.

Example: Men use razors to shave. = LES hommes utilisent DES rasoirs pour se raser.

It is LES hommes because it’s referring to men in general. Why is it not LES rasoirs? Isn’t it referring to razors in general?

Thank you for any help. 

I have mentioned time as six heures quarante-cinq why it is marked wrong

why is et elle adore les livres and not des livres? is't it loving just books and not some specific "definite" books?

HI!

How to say in French ' They are coming to see me and you'?

Thank you

how come it's incorrect to write "je n'ai pas une soeur" as opposed to "de soeur"?

There might be an error on a test I just took. The question as written is "Ma mère nous a récompensés pour nous être comportés... The sentence as given shows an agreement between the past participle of récompenser, and the auxilliary, avoir. Is this correct? My instincts say "Non", but perhaps I'm missing something.
