A brief History of Shaving

Shaving has been practiced for thousands of years by people around the world. Early methods of removing body hair included the use of sharpened stones, shells, and even flint or obsidian knives. The ancient Egyptians are believed to have been among the first people to shave regularly, using razors made from copper or bronze. The Romans also practiced shaving, and Julius Caesar was known for his clean-shaven face. In the Middle Ages, shaving fell out of fashion, and beards became a popular symbol of masculinity and social status. In the 17th and 18th centuries, however, shaving regained popularity and has been a common practice among men and women ever since.

 The exact date when razor shaving began is not known, but it is believed to have been at least several thousand years ago. Over time, the technology and design of razors have evolved, and today there are many different types of razors available for a range of shaving needs. Despite these advances, the basic principle of using a sharp blade to remove hair has remained the same.

"Disposable" razors were first introduced as safety razors in the early 1900s. The earliest disposable razors were made from stainless steel and had a single blade that could be used for a few shaves before being discarded. These razors were a significant improvement over earlier razors, which had to be sharpened by the user and were often difficult and time-consuming to maintain. In the decades that followed, disposable razor technology advanced and transformed into the cartridge razor we know today. Cartridge razors are more eco-freindly and are the standard way the majority of people shave. Modern multi-blade razors have more common and dominate most markets. Today, a range of razors are widely available and are used and even collected by many people around the world.
