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.
