    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......

    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.
