    Default razor collector

    Guys,

    Anyone know what the collective term is for a razor collector? Closest I found is for knife collector being a machirologist.

    I think that was a loose translation above for a knife collector; machirology (iirc) refers to the study of handheld combat weapons, from the latin ma+chiro (having to do with the hands).

    "gentlemen" - lol great answer!

    "doesn't -ologist mean one who studies, not collects" - I thought so too but font of all knowledge - Google - disagrees

    "barberiana" - would make sense I guess

    Razorwasterologist

    That only applies for collectors, not users.

    For users, we're smartcooldudeologists.

    I'm willing to alter the terms if a better suffix can be identified.
