“About the hair, the following seems right. Let the head of men be shaven, unless it has curly hair. But let the chin have the hair. But let not twisted locks hang down from the head, gliding into womanish ringlets. For an ample beard suffices for men. And if one, too, shave a part of his beard, it must not be made entirely bare, for this is a disgraceful sight. The shaving of the chin to the skin is reprehensible, approaching to plucking out the hair and smoothing… The hair on the chin is not to be disturbed, as it gives no trouble, and lends to the face dignity and paternal terror.” Stromata, Anti-Nicene Fathers, Vol. 2, p. 286.
