Exactly my point. Everyone thinks that
1 Cor 11 is only about hair, but how can you take hair on and off? Ouch!
Shorn or shaven is referring to hair, no matter how you want to word it. So at one junction he is talking about a woman's natural covering being her hair, which she cannot take on and off, and he is also at the same time referring to her outward covering, which at that time, would have been a veil, which can be taken on and off. He is referencing the natural covering (hair) and the physical covering (veil) all at the same time.
