I have solved the world's most famous paradox: who shaves the barber

SUMMARY

The discussion reveals that the solution to the paradox of who shaves the barber is Eric Barber, who resides in a neighboring village. It is established that Eric and the barber, who is identified as a woman, engage in mutual shaving due to their distrust of others, particularly when using cutthroat razors. This conclusion definitively resolves the paradox by identifying the individuals involved and their relationship.
