    I have used the term "Straight Shaver" and "Wet Shaver". It worked, but doesn't roll off the tongue.

    I would say smart
    Although not every one would agree I guess

    In dutch, there is no real use of the term shaver.
    A straight razor is described as a classic open razor. So the sentence to turn people away is, I shave with a classic open razor.

    Classic shaver sounds very nice to me...

    Surely you would use a collective name for the hobby part of straight razor use, I don't consider shaving a hobby, whereas something like collecting razors etc or honing razors would be a hobby.
    So maybe for honing something like honeist. And for collecting something like razor collector.
