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?)

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!"Last edited by sharptonn; 06-25-2011 at 04:35 PM.
"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

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.

Occamage? Oh! Made up words? You must share how occamage refers to strictly straight razors?

How about a Scale of razors?
