[Peter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Entertaining and quick read about the evils of shaving your beard. The first third is a poem admonishing those to cease shaving beards, a clear sign of influence from the devil himself! Well worth the read just because it is so brief and so ridiculous. The last two thirds are notes and observations of the dangers of shaving your beard and an outline of famous bearded men and those that opposed them. Maybe 18 pages total.
