Some Etruscans shaved<br>
<br>
It looks like Minoans and Myceneans did.<br>
<br>
The Celts shaved their beards but kept their moustaches<br>
<br>
the Tollund man was clean-shaven<br>
<br>
'razors' (or what archeologists think are razors) are a kind of 'lead fossil' of the north European bronze age<br>
<br>
Figures on the Gundestrup cauldron are shaved<br>
<br>
I think it's mostly a case of 'some shave, some don't' and for most Romans, shaving was part and parcel of good grooming (hence its neglect in mourning). Also, it seems that in older times, Romans went bearded. otherwise, where do they get a cognomen like 'Ahenobarbus'?<br>
