    Any one that knows how old the oldest the shaving brush is? In the context Archaeological found.

    Kind regards

    According to the <sarcasm>definitively accurate</sarcasm> Wikipedia; "The modern shaving brush may be traced to France during the 1750s". However, another article says that "a rudimentary form of shaving cream was documented in Sumer around 3000 BC", so I'm thinking it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to think that the Sumerians could have used shaving brushes of some description.

    As for actual archaeological finds...I have no idea, but I'd be very interested to hear what you find.

    Cheers,
    Brad
