I was just watching a documentary on ancient Egypt, and it said that ancient Egyptians were clean shaven? If this is accurate, what did they use to shave?
I have heard of Egyptians using sugaring or similar but I have no evidence for that. I DO know that razors and mirrors have been found in tombs, which leaves that open to probability.
Met Museum: Razor and mirror from the tomb of Hatnofer and Ramose. New Kingdom, ca. 1479–1473 BC.
