  1. rareA person who has their hair shaved off.

    It must have been a serious affair for the last score of shavées. When the betting became loud, 6 to 4 on time, I am surprised the barber got his patients to sit.

    1822, John Wilson, Noctes Ambrosianæ, volume 1, page 243

    The barber was shaving some one in the next chair to me, and he asked his patient—barbers and surgeons were one and the same in days gone by, so I do not see why the shavee should not be called a patient.

    1888, The Book Buyer, volume 5, page 61
