BOSTON — Some famous Boston beards fell victim to the razor Monday.

Red Sox players David Ortiz and Shane Victorino shaved in a promotion at Gillette headquarters in Boston.

Joining them was city policeman Steve Horgan, who was stationed in the Red Sox bullpen at Fenway Park. He became a fixture in Beantown after he was photographed with his arms in the air celebrating Ortiz’s grand slam in the AL championship series against Detroit.

A fan chosen by social media also took part in the shave-off.

The Red Sox players’ beards became a symbol of their solidarity as they went from worst in the AL East last year to first this year by winning the team’s third World Series title in a decade.
