Abstract

In an earlier paper observations were reported which indicated that the growth of hair on certain regions of the body is unaffected by shaving. Since the face was not one of the regions included, the present paper is a report of results obtained by shaving a selected part of the beard area. The beard more than any other part of the hairy covering of the body is commonly believed to be increased by shaving. These data are based on the length of the beard hairs shaved at stated intervals from a selected region of the face. My thanks are due to the four meii who nillingly and faithfully carried out directions.
