Episode description
A new mishnah - shaving a nazir's head cancels the count of the 30 days of nezirut. Removing hair in any way means lashes, but the question is how does hair grow? With implications for which growth was cut off, if another cuts it off him (and how many days are left to his nezirut). Plus, the proofs from both halakhah and reality, as well as the rationale for R. Eliezer's opinion.
