Additional Information
Tonsorial Tricks razors allow characters with facial hair as part of their Distinguishing Mark to style them. This results in a temporary 4-hour change to the Distinguishing Mark feature. The temporary style can also be shaved off to have a clean-shaven face for the remainder of the 4-hour duration. They only work for characters that already have facial hair.
Characters who do not have a beard but want one can get one in several ways.
