But what does it matter to you if my hair lacks the shears? If you will forgive me: what may seem to you a piece of rudeness, I declare that the poor man is ashamed of such things with the sensitiveness of a young girl.
YOU, for instance, would not care (pray pardon my bluntness) to unrobe yourself before the public eye; and in the same way, the poor man does not like to be pried at or questioned concerning his family relations, and so forth.
A man of honour and self-respect such as I am finds it painful and grievous to have to consort with men who would deprive him of both.
~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky

I miss the old days when after having my hair sheared I could get a shave too?
