    I think it should be called a bevel of razors: 1) It sounds like bevy (a group or collection), 2) We all like to line up our razors straight and clean and analyze them at length, like an expertly set bevel.

    For some reason, a RADiant of razors seems like the right term.

    noun 1. An object or a point from which light or heat rays are emitted.

    When I look at my razors, sitting in a rack on the bathroom counter top, they seem like a focal point. Light and energy certainly seems to shine out from them.

    Additionally, a popular way to take a quick pic of a dozen or so razors is a circular pattern. Sort or sun like.

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