2. Shave all the hair on your body!

Well, if you think about it, running naked doesn't seem to be an absolutely unacceptable thing for modern people either. After all, we are no longer living in a feudal era that emphasizes three chastity and nine spirits. Outside the port of Provence in modern France, isn't there also an island inhabited by ** people with a permanent population of 2oo? Recently, the people of Taiwan seem to be actively learning from Europe and the United States, and have repeatedly set up illegal naturist camps in the suburbs of Taipei......

Well, now, after some efforts, all the time-travelers with the title of protagonist have basically abandoned their shame in public, and have thrown away their clothes and festivals in the ancient Egyptian world. So is it basically fine?

Meow ha, it's a pity that it's not that easy to pass, and then there is an even more shameful thing waiting for everyone - shaving!

Probably due to the extreme heat, the Egyptians paid special attention to cleanliness, and were accustomed to shaving off their heads and body hair, which were prone to dirt and dirt, so as not to breed lice and other parasites on the body surface, and induce all kinds of terrible diseases - the level of medical care in those days was also a tragedy.

But in this way, almost all the men and women of Egypt naturally became bald, and instead of all kinds of fakes. Over time, bald heads and wearing fake clothes became a habit of the ancient Egyptians, and the poor could not afford to buy fake ones, so they wrapped a headscarf instead.

On the other hand, if someone has a lot of hair on his body and does not shave it clean, he will be humiliated and ridiculed by others, saying that he is dirty and not like the Egyptians.

Readers who have read the comics will probably know that Ramses in "The Sky is the Red River", as well as his sister, are regarded as outliers by other Egyptian magnates and ostracized in the small circle of nobility because they have foreign blood and do not like to shave their heads and wear fakes.

(Note that the ancient Egyptian civilization lasted quite a long time, and the customs of different eras varied slightly, so there were occasional times when shaving heads was not very popular.) Just as the Chinese originally wore their hair in a bun, but in the Qing Dynasty they shaved long braids. ）

To make matters worse, the ancient Egyptians believed not only that the head should be shaved, but also that the armpit hair and pubic should be shaved. The hair can't be spared, and those priests even have to shave their eyebrows.

In modern society, only men need to buy razors to shave, and in ancient Egypt both men and women needed razors: men shave their beards and underneath hair at the same time, and women use razors to clean their crotches - note that since teenagers in ancient Egypt were **, then yin. Whether the hair is shaved or not is no longer a personal **, but like the beard on the face, it has become something that everyone can see.

In this way, even if the traversers want to cut corners, they only shave their heads and not their yin. Mao, it won't work either. If you don't have a shaved. Mao went out, and he was also ridiculed by everyone, or considered a foreign barbarian - the ancient Egyptians were very xenophobic!

Because razors in the Bronze Age were expensive, commoner families often couldn't afford them, so they had to ask for help from a physiologist. Ancient Egyptian therapists had to shave not only their heads, but also their armpit hair and pubic hair. Hair, both men and women's crotches should be shaved - don't mistake him for an evil teacher!

I don't know how the male protagonists who want to overthrow the Egyptian girls will feel in the face of these bald beauties? Feeling like sleeping with a nun?

So, what if the time-traveler insisted on not shaving in ancient Egypt?

I'm afraid it will be very bad, first of all, it will be regarded as an outlier by the whole society, not to mention an inch, and at that time there was neither washing water nor soap, and even the earthwork that lit wormwood to repel mosquitoes did not know if it was made clear - the rich would burn spices to repel mosquitoes, but the poor would definitely not be able to use it.

In this way, on a sweltering night in ancient Egypt, when you fall asleep, the wet sweat and hair are entangled, which will attract many loving little insects such as lice, which will bite you until your skin is red and swollen, your head is covered with bags, and even some parasitic diseases that are difficult to cure at that time......

Therefore, please respect the local traditions and obediently accept the abuse...... Uh, no, take the shaving!

However, even if you abandon your shame, shaving your body hair was a painful thing to do in ancient Egyptian society – there were no laser hair removal or electric razors, not even sharp steel knives. As depicted in "The Sky is the Shore of the Red River", at that time, iron was still a secret weapon of the Hittites, and the price of foreign countries was more expensive than the same weight of gold, and absolutely no one was willing to use it as a razor.

And by the time iron smelting technology spread and the price of steel fell sharply, it was almost time for the ancient Egyptian civilization to die.

- Even the early Roman legions, the soldiers used bronze daggers, not to mention the ancient Egyptians before that.

Therefore, the ancient Egyptians could only use a very blunt bronze razor to remove hair (there were no scissors at that time, and the earliest scissors were not Chinese until the Western Han Dynasty), and even this copper razor did not appear until the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, before which there were only more tragic flint blades...... Since it is really impossible to shave cleanly with such a backward knife alone, the master usually has to prepare a pair of tweezers for plucking the hair directly.

In ancient times, when there were no antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, there were many records in the East and the West about the embarrassing things that caused the skin of the face to be cut because of the inappropriate shave, which led to the infection and suppuration of the wound, and finally died with a whimper. And as we all know, the skin of our lower body is far more delicate than the skin of the face, and at the same time, it is more sensitive, and naturally more susceptible to razor damage - so maybe it is a good thing that the razor of ancient Egypt is not strong?

Well, in short, if you are not confident in your craft, it is better to find a skilled physiologist to shave your hair!

But no matter how skilled the ancient Egyptian priests were in the business of shaving, the rudimentary tools were there, and it was impossible to avoid pain.

In short, when you are looking for someone to shave your hair in ancient Egypt, you can first be in the yin if you have the conditions. Apply a little primitive soap - usually a small oil ball mixed with animal fat mixed with plant ash, but the poor still can't afford to use it - if you can't do it, just pour some water on it and wash it, and then the master will take a knife in one hand and pick your hair in the other, and slowly "saw" back and forth......

But because the bronze or flint blades are so blunt that you can't shave them even if you die of pain, the physiologist has to take out a large tweezer (similar to the candy cube you have nowadays) and face the sun to help you pull out the remaining hairs one by one......

Well? How painful is this? You can just try to pluck a handful of hair under your crotch, it will definitely make you cry your teeth and mouth hurt.

What's worse is that if this shaving master is a beginner and his skills are not good, or if he happens to be out of shape today, then your lower body will most likely be cut bloodstained, as if you have just come out of the "clean room" or "silkworm room" where the castrated eunuch was castrated.

Because shaving was so painful before the Iron Age, the Mayans, who were still in the Stone Age, generally put hot towels on their children's faces from an early age, so that they could never grow beards again. However, this method cannot be used on the reproductive organs, otherwise it is easy to lead to sterilization.

Dear travelers, especially female compatriots, given how terrible the shaving service was in ancient Egypt, it is best for you to go to the beauty hospital for a laser hair removal of the whole body before crossing to the banks of the Nile!

(Speaking of which, I've always wondered how Kyrol and Yuri shaved their hair in ancient Egypt?) Could it be that they are all born white tigers? ）
