Now that you mention it, yes! Perhaps 5000 years ago there was an Egyptian god of beard removal named Bho-Kar. His worship could have spread to Rome as a secret cult of clean shaven men, and been spread throughout the known world by the Legions. It is true that enemies of Egypt are always depicted as having beards in tomb paintings and papyruses....perhaps shaving is actually an Egyptian invention, hey?
