The picture on that mug brings back a memory from 30 years ago.
I went into a shop in southern Louisiana looking to buy a straight razor.
The lady behind the counter showed be straight razors-plastic scales, $2.00 each. I told her that there was no way I was going to trust my face to a razor that only cost $2. She looked at me like I was a recent escapee from the insane asylum and told me "These aren't for shaving, they're for ni**ers to cut each other". And she was serious as a heart attack when she said it.
