Thanks all for the replies and links.
Oil sounds like it would soften the skin and work well. Afterall, that is one of the main reasons for shaving cream. The only other thing that I could think of that the Romans used, was some kind of soap? i.e the ones used to wash clothes although I think they used other things to wash clothes.
Paul, if you have the picture of the 1stC razor, I would really appreciate it.
