Thread: A Collective Noun of Razors...

I've been trying to find the collective noun for razors... Those with RAD usually just say stash or something familiar but I am after the true collective noun..

If you have a reference please state it, or let us know if it's your own.

after a Google Search I found
- AN OCCAMAGE OF RAZORS
- A PILLORY OF RAZORS

Now is that just for Straights or what about DE's. Maybe there is a special collective noun for disposeables (not sure if anyone other than landfill collect them?)

Occamage lol i like that, nice play on words

Plethora: noun. "an excessive quantity, or fullness. "ShaveShack possesses a plethora of razors"

Hows about plentitude": noun. "completedness or abundance" "Dang it! Shaveshack has a downright plentitude of razors! Unfair!"

Those are good, but i'm looking for that special word that can only refer to a collection of razors eg. a Parliment of Owls etc.

Collective nouns definitive list

A lot of dictionarys only state a few as they are perceived as being too humerous for classical wordsmiths.

I think occamage is perfect then. can only really apply to a razor

I voted, of course, for occamage, I really liked some of the other ideas but i think this was the most elegant and witty

In the wiki? An arbitrary piece of slang that is not in common use? That doesn't seem right to me.

Easy, it will stay only in this thread then
