Hence the paradox. Say 'this one' doesn't shave. Then 'this one' has to 
shave herself, as she herself doesn't shave herself.

Incidentally, we've been misinformed. The wikipedia page 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barber_paradox refers specifically to a male 
barber, who shaves daily every man who does not shave himself; i.e. male 
barber, male customers only.
