Only the ungodly go beardless
• Superstitious Folly
Travellers to scenic Bisham who ask for a refreshing shave will now find all 17 of the town's barbers refuse to use the razor.
Signs freshly installed in the town's barber shops tell customers not to ask for any existing beards or stubble to be removed.
The decision was taken after a committee of barbers decided it was un-Islamic to shave beards.
According to the barbers' ruling, anyone violating the ban will face a fine of 20,000 rupees, or around $350, and the closure of his business.
