Question

how do the ancient men shave their beard

Answer 1

For as long as men have been growing hair on their faces, they have been trying to find ways to remove it. Archaeologists have found evidence of men using a variety of interesting tools to remove their whiskers. They have used parts of animals like clam shells and shark’s teeth to shave, as well as sharpened rocks such as flints. It is speculated that facial hair was seen as too much of a danger when battling an enemy, and had to come off at all costs. Egyptian tombs have held both copper and gold razors undoubtedly used by pharaohs. Warriors have been found buried with their razors and their weapons, both tools being cultural signs of stature.



Not every culture looked upon shaving as something to be celebrated. In Rome, shaving and razors were seen as a sign of degeneracy until foreigners infiltrated the city and made being clean shaven the standard. Barber shops were popularized in ancient Rome, which allowed men who were not wealthy enough to own slaves the luxury of a clean shave given by a skilled professional. Most Roman leaders including Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great were clean shaven.

Answer 2

Ancient Men used knives for shaving their beard. Barbers operated in saloons where they shaved their customers beard using Knives and Small Swords.

Most of the men in those days preferred Not to Shave as it reduced their Manliness. Infact A Man with Shaven Face was considered as a Wimp and not as a Man. In time of War, the prisoners were put into a camp and their beards were shaved off as a punishment.

The longer the beard of A Man, the more Intelligent and wiser was he recognised as by other people.

All Indian Sages such as Vyasa, Valmiki, Vishwamitra, Lord Brahma etc are shown as Beared Men having loads of Intellect and Wisdom.
