The Evolution of Shaving Cream: From Ancient Egypt to Modern Masculinity

Shaving cream has been a popular product used for centuries to lubricate the skin during shaving. The ancient Egyptians used a mixture of animal fats and wood ash, while the Greeks and Romans used olive oil and sand. In the 19th century, French barber Jean-Jacques Perret created the first shaving cream using soap, water, and a fragrance. Shaving cream quickly became a staple product for men's grooming, and by the early 20th century, various companies developed their own formulations.
