[Faize furrows his brow, frowning slightly as he mulls the puzzle over in his head. Though that frown increases ever so slightly as the minutes (days?) tick by. Until finally, the answer clicks into place.]

It's a paradox. This riddle has no answer, since the barber must shave himself but also cannot shave himself.

[If he shaves himself, then the statement "he only shaves those who do not shave themselves" is false. But if he doesn't shave himself...then he HAS to shave himself, because the barber "only shaves those who do not shave themselves".]

[Or, you know, he could just go to another town.]
