al-em is how ive always said it :D
OK, that's all well and good. Now how does one pronounce razor?
I have always gone with Arabic (from which the English word is derived) pronunciation: Al-hloum. The gutteral "hl" comes from the back of the throat.
Just kidding! :D I guess it gets its name from its chemical composition: aluminum potassium sulfate, K2SO4·Al2(SO4)3·24H2O.
I actually just pronounce it "sting stuff" :fim:
