A knife-wielding shoplifter slashed a 63-year-old security guard in the face at an Upper East Side CVS late Monday, cops said.&nbsp;

The armed thief was swiping an electric razor and other shaving items – including blades and creams – from a shelf and stashing them in his backpack in the convenience store on East 86th Street near Second Avenue around 11:30 p.m. when the guard tried to stop him, police said.&nbsp;

The suspect whipped out a knife and slashed the employee just below the left eye, authorities said.&nbsp;

The wounded worker was taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, cops said.&nbsp;

The thief got away with the loot, worth nearly $400, police said.

He was still on the loose Tuesday morning.&nbsp;
