Best and easiest way to root is to use Matt's Utility in the sticky of this section. Easy as making sure you have a few settings checked and hitting a button and letting it do it's thing.

I believe that the MotoFail method still works on the most current update - http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-hacks/198057-2-3-6-now-has-root-method.html
After that, here is a link to the ICS install on our sister site - Install the ICS leak without Cheesecake and retain root

Matt's Utility is a great source as well - it is also a handy utility to keep around in case you need to fastboot back to stock.

Not a dumb question - it is just the location of where we stick the important threads - if you go to the "hack forum" you will find the stickies for that area...

Sorry, you see the four posts above yours how they say STICKY in front of them. That means the moderators have stuck those there and they never move because they are so awesome and everyone should read them. The first one is the Razr Utility, which I recommend using and yes I believe for 1.51 it is a direct download link.
The link that Smalltowngirl posted will also work for you I am sure, but as she said the utility can also revert you back to stock if you somehow mess up root or installing the ICS leak. Either way not a bad thing to have around, plus it unroots just as easily.
