In addition to non-nucleated cells, variable sizes of fragments of epithelium composed of nucleated cells were present in relatively large and equivalent numbers in both electric and blade shavings. It is suggested that many of these come from perifollicular location. The significance of the numerous nucleated parakeratotic cells observed in sediments obtained from both shaving methods is discussed, and it is suggested that this is a frequent characteristic of the "normal" regenerative process.
The cut ends, cut angles, and lengths of hairs on the face were examined and noted to be consistently different in the two methods of shaving.
