Primitive Shaving
Pat B:
I tell ya, those guys were slow learners. It took forever before I could let them out on their own. Glad they made something of themselves. ;D 8)
First time Chris Cade met me, I was wearing that shirt...at the Southeastern Trad Championships at Elberton, GA...and I still have it.

Established primitive cultures--generalization coming--seem to be obsessed with grooming and appearance. Some clean-cut, others looking like they work at the local tattoo and piercing parlor. Sometimes adherence to grooming customs seemed of critical importance. When Ishi snubbed fellow Yana, Kroeber offers the explanation of Ishi's culturally-imbued disgust for facial hair. Ishi carefully plucked his wiskers.
My archeology prof in jr. college told me that you can still get an authentic obsidian shave in barber shops south of the US border. Two bits. :)

How do you shave without a mirror? And if you can show me you can pluck anything with a pair of clamshells, I'd be impressed.
I can just see Joe Caveman leaning over a calm puddle of water (looking at his reflection) trying to pluck out whiskers with a clamshell....and then along comes Mega Caveman Terminator, stomps the puddle all over Joe, and says, "Girly Man!"
Seriously, I think shaving was all about the women. If you were married, you shaved. Or is it, if you shaved, you had a better chance of getting married?
