Etymology

The word 'shaving' originated from the Old English word 'sceafan', meaning 'to scrape, shave, shear'. Throughout history, shaving has been a common practice for personal grooming and hygiene. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all practiced some form of shaving. In the 18th century, the straight razor became popular for shaving, and later innovations led to safety razors and electric shavers. Today, shaving remains an integral part of many people's daily routines, with various techniques and products available for a smooth and comfortable shave.
