HEY NLs,

I've been wondering if Nigerians from any part of the shaved before the arrival of Europeans? Did they use razors and shaving creams? Or maybe even something else.

It would be interesting to know how people from your part of the country did it.

I don't see how that's general info that's why I asked it here . It's something that I've wondered about and whatever the answer is, it has to do with our history and culture.
