Important question

The barber is the "one who shaves all those, and those only, who do not shave themselves". The question is, does the barber shave himself?

This is a logical impossibility and destroys the very foundation of set theory, damn you

The premise of this is ridiculous - easy solution is “let the barber be a woman”. Sexist.

    I'm willing to bet that a female barber does in fact shave.
    Or Veet as a minimum. 😉
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Or waxing. But shaving isn’t compulsory, like.

    All things are up for debate and open to interpretation, innit.

    Rather than a female barber, I'm going with this- a robotic barber.

    Or maybe a woman who didn't want to shave herself:

    You've been in isolation for too long. This is what happens when you're a maths geek and you spend too much time on your own.

    I went to the barbers 3 weeks ago for them to run the clippers over my balding 2 mm stubble and trim my beard. They did a bit [email protected] about with eyebrow and ear hair and charged me 25 quid.
    So with missus agreement clippers have been purchased and I’m hoping for some action tomorrow. Which in the past has incurred some element of nakedness’s so hairs don’t get on your clothes.
    Sadly being covered in your own shavings is apparently not a turn on.
    However if I catch her using the trimmers on herself. You will be first to know.

    Webboo, been doing my own for a few years now, its similar to a sheep shearing, in that it has to happen in the garden and is weather dependent.

    I used sit naked in the garden room while the missus trimmed mine. But growing a beard and the clippers dying a death led me to visiting the premises of several Turkish gentlemen but it was always sadly disappointing.

    I could agree and blame isolation but it’d be a lie. This sort of nonsense goes on in my head all the time.

  • I found a picture of the barber if it helps.

    Disappointment all round if the nakedness was involved 😳
