No one, the barber is a woman.

I think Obdigore is correct... The barber himself is also a possible answer, but it seems to easy (even though it is correct too, since the riddle didn't state the barber ONLY cuts the beard to everyone who doesn't cut it himself)

I'm fairly sure Obdigore is correct - I've seen that type of riddle before.

Obdi, you're up!

Don't look now, but I think there's something weird attached to the bottom of my posts.

How did Mark legally marry three women in Michigan, without divorcing any of them, becoming legally separated, or any of them dying?

Cause is probably right, but would the marriages becoming annulled fit it too? Or would that come under legal separation?
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I would have said he was marrying someone with multiple personality disorder.

I'm sorry but the barber can't cut his beard becuse he cuts it to those that don't cut their beard.

Actually it doesn't have an answer because it was Russel's way to proove that the principle of not contraddiction cannot be used for every sentence.

Was it too hard? :)

The barber being a woman works the way you wrote it, also the barber could cut his own beard since you didn't say the barber ONLY cuts the beard of people who do not do it themselves.

Huh?
God sees all... how can this riddle make sense knowing that? :)

My guess: a way to improve their life?

Oh... Obdi... you be good. Equal is a pretty solid answer indeed!
