עד שיאכל שני חרצנים וזגן. דכתיב (במדבר ו׳:ד׳) מחרצנים ועד זג, ומיעוט חרצנים שנים ויש להם זג אחד. ואין הלכה כרבי אלעזר בן עזריה, אלא האוכל מן החרצן והזג אינו לוקה עד שיאכל מהן כזית:

Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Nazir Perek 6 Mishnah 3
נזיר פרק ו׳ משנה ג׳
Bartenura
סתם נזירות שלשים יום – even though it (i.e., the Mishnah) taught this above (Tractate Nazir, Chapter 1, Mishnah 3), because it was necessary to teach the concluding [fragment] of, “if he shaved or if robbers/thugs forcibly shaved him, he loses thirty days,” the Tanna/teacher repeated it (i.e., the teaching) here.
סותר שלשים יום – meaning to say, he loses thirty days until he will have thirty-days’ growth of hair, when he can shave the shearing of the commandment (for concluding the minimal amount of Naziriteship).
או שספסף כל שהוא – if he uprooted and removed even one hair, he is liable, as it is written (Numbers 6:5): “a razor shall not touch [his head],” to include all removals.
חופף – he rubs with his hand.
מפספס – with his nails or with a utensil, and as long as he doesn’t intend to remove anything, for a thing that is not intended is permissible.
אבל לא סורק – with a comb for it is an unavoidable result of an act which is forbidden, even though if he removes one hair, he is flogged, nevertheless, he doesn’t lose thirty days until he shaves the majority of his hair with a razor or with scissors at the side root of [his] hair.
לא יחוף באדמה – a species from the kinds of earth that removes the hair that is also an unavoidable result of an act and the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yishmael.
סתם נזירות שלשים יום. אע״ג דתני לה לעיל, משום דבעי למיתני סיפא גילח או שגלחוהו ליסטים סותר שלשים יום, הדר תנא ליה הכא:
סותר שלשים יום. כלומר סותר עד שיהיה לו גידול שער של שלשים יום כשהוא מגלח תגלחת של מצוה:
או שספסף כל שהוא. שעקר והשיר אפילו שער אחד, חייב, דכתיב (במדבר ו׳:ה׳) תער לא יעבור, לרבות כל המעבירין:
חופף. מחכך בידו:
ומפספס. בצפרניו או בכלי, ובלבד שלא יתכוין להשיר, דדבר שאין מתכוין מותר:
אבל לא סורק. במסרק דהוי פסיק רישיה ואסור. אע״ג דהמשיר אפילו שער א׳ לוקה, מ״מ אינו סותר ל׳ יום עד שיגלח רוב שערו בתער או במספרים בצד עיקרו של שער:
לא יחוף באדמה. מין ממיני אדמה שהיא משרת השער דהא נמי הוי פסיק רישיה. והלכה כרבי ישמעאל:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

עד שיאכלו שני חרצנים וזגן – as it is written (Numbers 6:4): “he may not eat anything that is obtained from the grapevine, even seeds or skin,” and the least amount of חרצנים/exteriors is two, and they each have one זג/interior [of grapes], but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah, but rather, one who eats from the exterior and/or the interior is not flogged until he eats from them [in total] an olive’s bulk.
רבי יוסי אומר שלא תטעה – Rabbi Yossi would give a sign that one shouldn’t err.
זוג של בהמה – for the exterior is called a זוג/exterior.
