There is a famous Hasidic rabbi who has no facial hair, and I seem to recall that there is a famous story as to why. But I can remember neither which rabbi (or of which sect), nor the story. I do not even know if he is/was "the" Rebbe of his sect. Can someone please post information?
I cannot provide any further information, other than that I know there are color photos of him (ie., this was not centuries ago).
Answer
The Kaliver Rebbi. It was pulled out by the Nazis Yemach Shemom.
