2. Shave all the hair on your body!

Well, if you think about it carefully, for modern people, running naked doesn't seem to be an absolutely unacceptable thing, after all, it's not a feudal era that pays attention to three chastity and nine spirits. Outside the port of Provence in modern France, isn't there also an island inhabited by naked people with a permanent population of 200? 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, the traversers with the title of protagonist have basically abandoned their shame about being naked in public, and have thrown away their clothes and festivals in ancient Egypt. So is it basically fine?

Meow hahaha, unfortunately, there is an even more shameful thing waiting for everyone - shaving!

Probably due to the scorching heat, the Egyptians paid special attention to cleanliness, and were accustomed to shaving off all the hair and body hair that was 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, all the men and women of Egypt naturally became bald, and were replaced by wigs of all kinds. Over time, bald heads and wearing wigs became a custom among the ancient Egyptians, and the poor could not afford to buy wigs, 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, were regarded as outliers by other Egyptian magnates and ostracized in the small circle of nobility because of their foreign ancestry and refusal to shave their heads.

To make matters worse, the ancient Egyptians believed not only to shave hair, armpit hair and pubic hair. The hair can't be spared, and the priest even has to shave his eyebrows.

In modern society, only men need to buy razors to shave, but 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 pussies specifically - note that since teenagers in ancient Egypt were naked, then yin. Whether the hair is shaved or not is no longer a personal privacy, but like the beard on the face, it has become a thing that everyone can see.

In this way, even if the traversers want to cut corners, they only shave their hair and not their yin. Mao, it won't work either. If you haven't shaved your. 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 a barber for help. Barbers in ancient Egypt had to shave not only their heads, but also their armpit hair and pubic hair. Mao, both men and women's crotches should be shaved - don't mistake him for the evil tutor!

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 shampoo nor soap, and even the earthwork that lit wormwood to repel mosquitoes did not know if it had been invented - the rich would burn spices to repel mosquitoes, but the poor would never afford 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 small 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 the iron-smelting jishu spread and the price of steel dropped sharply, the ancient Egyptian civilization would almost have perished.

- 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 invented by 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 impossible to shave cleanly with such a backward knife alone, barbers usually have to prepare a pair of tweezers for direct plucking.

Now the problem can come, in ancient times, when there were no antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, because of the inappropriate shaving and scratching the skin, which led to wound infection and suppuration, and finally died of embarrassment, there have been many records in the East and the West. 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 hairdresser with good skills to shave for you!

But no matter how skilled the ancient Egyptian barbers were at 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 apply primitive soap if you have the conditions - that is, animal fat and plant ashes, but the poor still can't afford to use it - if you don't have the conditions, just splash some water on it and wash it, and then the barber will hold 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 too blunt to shave even if you die of pain, the barber has to take out tweezers (similar to the candy cubes 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 master's craftsmanship is not good, or if he happens to be out of state 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 should not be used on the reproductive organs, otherwise it can easily 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? )
