A synthetic hairpiece should be cut, tapered or blended with a/an:

electric razor
dull razor
razor
thinning shears

The correct answer is: thinning shears

Thinning shears are best for cutting, tapering, or blending a synthetic hairpiece because they are specifically designed to thin out hair while cutting. This helps to create a more natural look and texture, as opposed to using an electric razor, which would be too harsh and could potentially damage the hairpiece. A dull razor also wouldn't be suitable because it wouldn't give clean and precise cuts. Similarly, a regular razor also wouldn't be ideal as it would be difficult to control and could easily damage the hairpiece. Therefore, thinning shears are the best option for achieving a natural and blended look on a synthetic hairpiece.
