Seers bald, surprisingly clean-shaven (9)
I believe the answer is:
beardless
'clean-shaven' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'seers bald surprisingly' is the wordplay.
'surprisingly' is an anagram indicator.
'seers'+'bald'='seersbald'
'seersbald' anagrammed gives 'BEARDLESS'.
(Another definition for beardless that I've seen is " As a young man".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
