Huh? The Pakistani thing I can see... but people can get offended by an abbreviated term referring to the type of razor they use? Am I missing something, or is this yet another case of people making up a reason to get offended- like vegans getting mad at me for wearing wool? Will the straight razor community flame me for using electrics?
