    Default A term for a number of straight razors?

    Just wondering if there is a formal term (I doubt it, but ya never know). Like gaggle for geese. If not, then what? How about a 'strop of straights' or something along those lines. I can't be the only gent here who has pondered this weighty question.

    Maybe "a pride" of razors would sit pretty here !

    Yeah, I call them "crack" because they're addictive like drugs. I need my crack of razors because I'm a weak fool!!

    Just another thought...you can have "a murder of crows" so how about a "sweeney of straights"...(Sweeney Todd the barber murderer).

    • reef of straights
    • colony of straights
    • scatter of straights
    • swamp of straights
    • horde of straights
    • gathering of straights
    • throng of straights
    • cluster of straights
    • huddle of straights
    • band of straights
    • posse of straights
    • orchestra of straights
    • pack of straights
    • congregation of straights
    • round-up of straights
    • ton of straights
    Or, you could just say you have several straights

    I'd say lets call them in "sets". A set being 7. I have two sets of non matching razors. :-)
