    There are herds, pods, flights, shoal, prides, and more specifically a murder for ungulates, cetaceans, avians, pisces, panthera, and crows.

    What is the collective noun for a group of razors?

    Are there more specific words for straight, safety, injectors, and disposable types? And what about mugs, my favorite? Soaps?

    This has been discussed before and I find the word Occamage clumsy and harsh. Obviously it is not in regular use because we still refer to them as "my collection"

    It's a 'passel of razors.' I thought everyone knew that. ;)

    A shitton of razors. (It's an old Gaelic term I'm told.)

    I like it! Except one correction: it should be a flamboyance of after shave. Think about it.
