    Occam's Razor states: one should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.

    That applies to str8's rather well, doesn't it. heheh One should not increase the size of ones collection beyond the number required to explain ones addiction to str8 shaving...

    an Occamage seems appropriate.. hehehe.

    Occam's razor is a principle used in connection with logic and argument and actually argues against razor collecting, not in favor of it. It is therefore counter-intuitive to use a principle designed to minimize unnecessary additions as a name for a RAD-generated collection of razors. Occam would have been a one razor man. I'd suggest HOARD for Having Over the Amount of Razors Demanded.

    Occams Razor is at it's heart (and possibly a little too simplistically) the simplest solution is the best one. What is simpler than a piece of metal with an edge to remove facial hair?

    Occam's Razor could also be interpreted as the support of shaving with a straight or DE instead of the multi-bladed concoction of the minds of P&G.

    Yessir. That sounds about right to me.

    +1 for "Occamage". I like the reference.

    I have a rotation. It's almost complete... I just need one more.

    ^^That is my perfect solution, because it never changes, no matter how many I get.

    I am +1 for Occamage, it works both ways as the simplest way to remove beard (ie. the straight Razor), and a pun on the collection itself; also on the original term Occams Razor (to shave away complex ideas). Credit where credit's due; I found this from Jim Donegan []Twitter I think that should go into the Wiki! or do you want to take it to the polls......
