I hope this helps. see Judges 13:5 It says razor, not shears according to the custom of the Jewish Nazarite vow.

You are using the same argument about Samson possibly having his hair cut that I do for women not being told they cannot cut theirs.

Consider the same language and wording you have above that is also used in 1 Cor 11. There is not a single verse that says women cannot cut their hair, only that (the implication is) she shouldn't have her HEAD shorn or shaven.

There is no scripture that says a woman cannot take shears to her hair, but it would be difficult getting shorn or shaven without a razor being involved.

Thanks!

Well, there ya go!
