you have defined your own set, ergo it becomes a paradox by virtue of the fact you have defined it as such, ergo such a barber does not exist.

it is a paradox of self reference which when referencing a negative position can be deemed to be false. that is, it doesn't follow that it is true that the barber only shaves those who don't shave themselves.
