Why Didn’t He?!

I’ve seen my fair share of Tarzan movies, both vintage and more current, and one thing strikes me as exceedingly strange…why was Tarzan portrayed as clean shaven?! — I mean, this guy was raised by apes, he lives off the land, he wears animal hide for a Speedo…and in every film portrayal, he’s got a close shave, usually without even razor stubble showing!– Did Tarzan have a Norelco cordless or a Gillette razor out there in the jungle?–Something just doesn’t make sense here…or was Tarzan a eunich?!

    After seeing clean-shaven men in the picture books in his father’s cabin he realized that he was not an ape. He identified with the beings in the books and used his father’s hunting knife to shave the beard from his face.

    Thank you for your comment, and for educating me on a point about the Tarzan character that had long puzzled me!
