These could be referred io as ‘the survival of the toughest'; beards which refuse to succumb to the ethciency of the safetv razor, and they present a difficulty and time-taking problem to the barber. It would be a more simple procedure to skin them than to shave them.| “The costs entailed in shaving have increased by 51 l>er cent, since 1935, and tiie new charge xvill absorb only part of the increased cost.
