Python - Removing vertical bar lines from histogram

I'm wanting to remove the vertical bar outlines from my histogram plot, but preserving the "etching" of the histogram, if that makes since.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np  

bins = 35

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(7,6))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)

ax.hist(subVel_Hydro1, bins=bins, facecolor='none', 
        edgecolor='black', label = 'Pecuiliar Vel')
ax.set_xlabel('$v_{_{B|A}} $ [$km\ s^{-1}$]', fontsize = 16)
ax.set_ylabel(r'$P\ (r_{_{B|A}} )$', fontsize = 16)
ax.legend(frameon=False)

Giving

Is this doable in matplotlibs histogram functionality? I hope I provided enough clarity.

In pyplot.hist() you could set the value of histtype = 'step'. Example code:

import matplotlib as mpl
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.random.normal(0,1,size=1000)

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)

ax.hist(x, bins=50, histtype = 'step', fill = None)



plt.show()

Sample output:
