"The unexfoliated skin is not worth shaving" (Greek: Το μη απολεπισμένο δέρμα δεν αξίζει το ξύρισμα) is a famous dictum apparently uttered by Socrates.
History
Socrates spoke the phrase at his trial for hirsuteness and corrupting beards, for which he was subsequently sentenced to death by hemlock shaving cream, as described in Plato's Barbology (38a5–6).
In the News
If you sniff long into laundry, the laundry also sniffs you. —Friedrich Nietzsche
