As with many things, shaving has gone in and out of fashion for years and years, dependent on region, religion and other societal mores. For example, Orthodox Jewish men don’t shave in accordance with Leviticus 19:27, which forbids shaving “the corners of the beard,” and Amish men will shave up until they get married, then let their beards grow for the rest of their lives.
It might surprise you to find out just how old traditional shaving really is (turns out back to the Stone Age!) and how the shaving razor originated. No matter how you like to shave your face, whether you have mutton chops, a full beard, a goatee, or a moustache, there’s a history to it that makes it all the more interesting.
