Early records ttate that the practice prac-tice of Bhaving originated In the fact that the beard afforded too .good a hold for the enemy in battle. This Is tho cause assigned for the origin of shaving among tho Greeks about the time of Alexander. In other countries the practise was first adopted by military men. Historians mention the alarm in which some Tlo.nan Emperors lived because of the fear that their barbers bar-bers might cut their throats. For tho sake of concealing a scar on hij throat the Emperor Ilad'rlaTi wore a beard. This fact brought the cus- torn again Into fashion. |
