I started thinking of this word again while shaving.
We can look at this word in a few different ways:
1) Marc is male and uses a razor for his face.
As a male, I didn't question the word like Qov did.
2) Maltz, also a male, uses the razor for his face.
3) Klingons don't shave other parts of their body.
4) Marc/Maltz saw the picture and identified it as a razor for one's
face, not a razor for one's legs.
Klingon males wear various styles of facial hair.
Most of them seem to shave their cheeks.
Do we know if Klingon females shave anything?
I would have no problem believing that they don't.
