I think you're underestimating how lucky it was for Gazef to stand so close before Ainz, a pure magic caster. We have already seen from the battle between the Lizardmen and Iguva=41 that forcing a magic caster into close combat makes a tremendous difference. The Lizardmen were level 17-20 and were able to defeat Iguva, level 22+, solely because they could bridge the distanz between them through Rorororo and frost pains ability.

It is common knowlegde that when you decide to study magic and become a magic caster your strenght and speed will suffer from it. Even Fluder could only beat the wild death knight through flying outside his reach and bombing him with fire balls. And the fact that Ainz stated Razor Edge could overcome his magic defences and actually hurt him doesn't help either. One does not need a shield if you're invulnerable = There is a chance that Gazef could beat Ainz in close combat with Razor Egde.

It is possible that Gazef truly tought he could at least severly damage Ainz. He is a pile of bones after all. Who could imagine that those bones are harder than adamantite?
