Four years of Biden proves too close a shave

Harold Witkov : Czar Peter I of Russia banned beards in the name of progress, reform and modernization.

Peter believed that Western Europeans were the cat’s pajamas and that if he could get Russian men to remove their much-loved traditional beards they would look like (and therefore think like) the close-shaved superior men of Western Europe .

To not have it on your person, or to not be in lockstep with the Peter I edict, would result in the humiliation of a public shaving by the police.
