Primitive Shave with a Stone (episode 35)

For thousands of years primitive cultures around the globe developed different self-care protocols for reasons of hygiene and appearance. Some allowed hair growth to be naturally uncontrolled. Some shaved their heads. Some shaved their beards. Today we can see the great diversity and obsession concerning body hair on the streets of many major cities worldwide.
In this video I explore a primitive method of shaving the male beard and mustache to learn what it was like back then to remove facial hair. I was surprised by the result. This series will be ongoing so be sure to stay tuned for the next video.

My equipment:
Camera: Nikon D7500 and GoPro Hero7 Black
Sound: Zoom H6
Editing: Final Cut Pro X on MacBook Air
Location: Parts Unknown
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
Who films you?
Me. I travel alone, shoot, edit, upload, everything, all alone. On a few occasions I may be accompanied by a friend, but that has been very rare.
Do you stay out there permanently?
No, I usually stay out in a wilderness area for about a week and then hike out and return to a city for editing and uploading. I have family and other obligations to take care of as well.
How many cameras do you use?
Usually I use just one camera. When I have underwater scenes then I also use a GoPro camera. I get different angles by moving the camera around and repeating the action to create a more cinematic viewing experience for the audience.
Where is this place?
In order to protect the integrity of the natural landscape I prefer to be very vague about the locations I use. There are places that I used to visit that were so beautiful and untouched but the consequences of social media brought all kinds of people to visit and sadly some people do not respect nature and have badly damaged these places. Therefore I do not share locations.
Where did you get your sandals?
I first started wearing sandals on outdoor adventures in February 2014. I’m so glad that I did because wearing these Luna Sandals has really helped strengthen my feet. You can see their selection of adventure and running sandals at this link: www.lunasandals.com/?rfsn=102...
(Note: I receive an affiliate commission from any sales derived from clicking on the link above)
Do you workout?
Yes, I workout, but not in a gym. I have some weights that I use and also do a lot of bodyweight exercises. I also run and sometimes swim. I hike frequently to collect wild foods and to shoot these videos so I'm very active all the time.
Are you vegan or vegetarian?
I wish I could maintain my health on a primal diet that does not include animals but unfortunately that did not work well and I ended up with health problems as a result of those attempts. From my studies, observations of nature, and personal experience I have come to believe that the best diet for optimal human health is a primal diet (paleo).
Do you get lonely when you’re alone?
No, I don’t get lonely. I’m actually so busy shooting video, taking photos and doing so many other things like making cordage, cooking, weaving, etc. that I really don’t have time to think about my lonely condition. Sometimes when something profound happens on an adventure I can’t wait to share it with people, but other than that I do not get lonely.
How many languages do you speak?
My first language is English but I also speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese. I also speak very little Russian. I may soon begin learning more languages.
How old are you?
I was born in 1972. At the time of this video I was 49.
Where did you get the music in your videos?
This series is the first one that I am making all the music myself. I recently made a drum and maracas (rumba shaker). I am now using them to create the intro and ending music in my videos, but before in the past I have used royalty free music from several sources including KZbin. Sometimes I bought the music but usually it was free.

Arctic explorers who survive, come home, shave and give interviews show how facial hair really protects the skin underneath from the elements (frostbite and ironic sunburn from the bright sun reflecting off all that ice and snow).

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yeah, I can see it being beneficial in such climates. The strange thing is though that the nose isn't covered in hair. The forehead and cheeks aren't covered. My hands and feet and nose feel the cold the most and they aren't covered in hair.

[@rorydonaldson2794]

As my dp will show I'm a largely bearded red head. I'm a redhead and I suffer from fare skin that burns easily but for the last 3 years I've had 0 sunburn on the lower half of my face and I'm convinced the hairs keep the oils off the skin/prevent excess of oil build-up as I almost never get any kind of pimple or breakout of any kind under my beard.

[@sejembalm]

@@ChadZuberAdventures Indeed! Really have to cover the nose, fingers and toes when out in the deep snow and bitter cold. And sunglasses! As mentioned, the sun reflecting off the snow can blind as well as burn. I liked watching antarctic exploration movies like Amundsen (2019) and Scott of the Antarctic (1948), but I would never go where those brave people went. Colorado is close enough for me.

[@sailorkek8672]

I think we don't grow hair on the nose because the nose is generally quite colder than the rest of our face, if you look at a face on a thermal camera the nose is often the coldest part, if our noses were shorter then perhaps hair protection would make sense but our noses protrude quite a lot from our face and might be considered pointless from an evolutionary standpoint

[@mattparker9726]

12:10 watching you build that fire was very helpful. As I said in my previous comment, I think the problem of smoke flowing into the hut is two fold. Both the shallow firebox, and an insufficient draw due to too small a length of chimney. When the heat of the fire was sufficient, it aided the weak draft, and pulled the smoke out, So perhaps if you took a large bit of juniper bark, and let it burn while holding it up near the chimney, with some smoldering tinder below, you could see for yourself, as that would determine if draw is a problem. 13:22 same problem is manifesting itself again with the addition of the grate I think. Also, if it's very windy, do you get bursts of smoke into your hut during gusts? 15:57 I think maybe adding about two feet of length would solve your problems with smoke, and since the roof is highly flammable, I'd do it just for added insurance.

Thanks for the information. YES! a few days ago it was windy and I noticed burst of flames blowing inside. I was shocked. Several people have suggested I build the chimney higher so I am going to do that little by little and test it along the way. I need to make the bricks specific to the ones I used to make the chimney first. I've been so busy trying to make videos and other tasks I just haven't been able to get to that yet. Perhaps I will make a video dedicated to fixing the smoke problem. It's not a terrible problem. I can totally live fine with it. Also the roof really isn't a concern for me anymore. I found that juniper bark does not catch fire easily.

Facial hair has a multitude of purposes. As you've discovered, warmth. It also can be protection from sun. It can also cut glare from ambient light which is important during hunting or hiding from enemies or predators. Eyebrows, eye lashes, ear & nostril hair each serve as protection for the corresponding organs.

[@jt4369]

This is an interesting point. However, there's something missing, clearly. Sure, a beard keeps the face warm, but that can hardly be a major advantage; and my reasoning is this. If warmth was such an important factor, then why did humans largely lose most of our body hair? I suspect that there was some selective selection in the past. Facial hair was probably a signal to females that a male had reached sexual maturity. But then, I'm just speculating.

[@mnk9073]

@@jt4369 The fun thing is we didn't "lose" our body hair, we still have about the same amount of hair folicles as our fuzzy ancestors did. After all we are still covered in tiny colourless hairs from head to toe. The hair just changed into a more practical form, currently the consensus is that our current form of body hair is related to sweating as it allows for a better temperature management and prevents overheating since our way of hunting was essentially relentlessly pursueing our prey until it ran out of steam. How beards factor into this, no idea; maybe it's just a health and age indicator...

Even having access to modern shaving tools, like Gillette and balms, I can feel your pain because my beard is hard as metal wire, and not all electric trimmers can manage it when I let it grow for a few weeks. Softening it with a hot wet towel or shaving after a shower definitely helps 100%, makes it much easier for the razor to cut through hairs. You did the right thing using warm water. I just wish you had a sharper and a larger shard of obsidian. I used to think shaving with a axe was cool, but now I think shaving with obsidian is much cooler! Thank you, Chad! You're like a brother to me, and I wish I could assist you with your work with the bricks or at least bring you water.

Studies have actually shown that beards are VERY good at protecting your face from punches. We now think they evolved because men with beards who got into fights were less likely to break their jaws, so they were able to pass them on.

As a bearded person, I strongly believe that beards can and will protect from heat of Summer too. Also I suspect that usage of ashy water with Yucca fibers could be a better lubricant for shaving. If there were Aloe Vera plants around, they would've been a great remedy for shaving cuts and irritations too. I just wish you could've flintknapped a better and sharper piece, it was painful to watch :")

Beards do protect from heat. they can reflect sunlight which helps with heat and also with sunburn. It's actually more beneficial to keep a beard in survival situations. Just you have to be sure to wash it regularly, because bacteria builds in beards rather quickly.

The beard only covers a tiny percentage of a man’s body. So to say it’s for warmth is inaccurate. To say it’s for sun protection is inaccurate. A few guys said that it helps to cushion a punch to the jaw so I guess that’s valid, but why then don’t we have hard jaw plates like an armadillo?

I was like "I'm willing to bet any culture with access to obsidian, flint, chert etc found out pretty quickly you could shave with them" even mentioned I keep a longer beard in the winter for warmth. Great minds think alike I suppose. 🤣 Excellent video chad. Edit: alright so, couple things. I wont get into steps and platforms and all that jazz but you want to use the right tools and a round river rock for a hammer stone will help alot as well as using some of those cow bones as "boppers" As for the most basic technique to want to look for a ledge and try to hit it with a glancing blow to the ledge or edge and that will help drive a flake off. The close to the edge the thinner the flake usually and the higher up the more of a base it will have before thinning out. But then comes pressure control for driving flakes and blah it can get complicated fast lol. Just stick with glancing blows to edges and ledges. Hitting it repeatedly like you did top down right in the middle can send fractures deep into the piece and make it just turn into useless chunks. Wish I'd known you had some obsidian chad. Man the list of tools that would have eased your life if I had known lol. Anyways yeah loved the video and keep it up man. Learning new skills ca. Be a B sometimes. But you'll get it 😁👍

[@RATOCOMBATENTE]

From experience i learned that the nearest to 45 degrees is the ledge, or a bit steeper, the longer the flakes😁👍 but when you get sharper flakes man, be a lttle more gentle, i was scared as f of you gettin cut

[@robertweldon7909]

Learning the art of flint knapping is quite difficult. using the right striking tool, the angle that you strike the object, be it fling, obsidian, or quartz, and striking the piece in the correct location takes much time and practice. I have seen various experts flint knapping and I am amazed at what they do, but they never just pound the piece with a stone. Flint knapping, easy to talk about, very hard to do. Now shaving your beard, you may regret not waiting for warmer weather, your call. The statement at 23:10 is also very difficult. Thoreau was well known for his ability to live quite simply. He also said; "A man should be able to leave his home behind with nothing more than he can carry, and feel he left nothing of importance behind". This Chad has done well in accomplishing this, and with only privative equipment, made by him.;-)

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Exactly! Flint knapping is quite an art and requires much practice to get good at. I have made simple spearheads or cutting tools out of other stones but obsidian is much different and I have attempted to work with it only a few times.

[@Pixie_de_Fae]

Chad I had to laugh at the flint knapping method, I can imagine Donny Dust wincing each time you bludgeoned that beautiful piece of obsidian :D

[@ilyabykov2437]

Flint knapping is no joke though. I was wathcing this guy Will Lord, he said that he was flintknapping since 5 years old, and he even got silicosis due to breathing all the stone dust in. It's hard, precise work, and almost always a guarantee that you'll cut yourself with sharp flint or obsidian shards. But also one of the most satisfying things to watch. I wish chad gives it a shot someday, maybe to make a stone axe.

Very cool video! Make more of these videos. An average day in the wild surviving.

[@KiseiruYoshioka]

I find this educative, honestly I have never thought of how primitive homo sapiens trimmed or shaved their facial hair. Remarkably interesting :)

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

It really is interesting to think about

Am I brave? Or just stupid? :-)

[@WEREBEASTAIRSOFT]

Growing one out had always helped my face but damn they sure can be annoying after a year of growth. Mustache started tickling my eyes in my sleep and would go inbetween my teeth and pull my hair whenever eating 🤣

Love the videos.. one of the few actual prehistoric channels on KZbin Wondering where you set up your hut; is it on a piece of land you own, back yard, or completely off the grid?

[@anonymouscayh]

If you read the description of his videos (this one included) it has a bit of an FAQ, he doesn't wish to disclose the location due to the reasons given in it.

[@jaketherattlesnake6791]

How'd you get that obsidian without a diamond pick?

[@M3MAX]

All the flintknappers crying inside as he smashes rocks together 🤣

[@kylo3943]

Obsidian is a powerful metaphysical protection stone as well

[@VENPH]

Ohhhh so this is the method for shaving in the late neolithic age, This is amazing!😁

[@MountainJohn]

paleolithic. People were shaving forever...

[@creepingslaytor6073]

Anytime you flintknap it's about setting up platforms, try striking it when it's flat against your leg and it slopes down into an angle that's less then 90 degrees, it should atleast flake better then just hitting at it with a rock

[@nexvull5911]

some tips i would recommend. 1.) have a bowl of water to swish the blade in. Instead of scraping off the hairs 2.) Softening the hair like that was a great idea! I would add some sort of soap/foamy thing to it as well. I have no idea what you could use for that lmao 3.) Using a strip of undamaged leather for strapping the edge. This would keep it razor sharp. I assume it would work on obsidian as it works on steel.

[@kid3686]

Love your channel, I love the sounds, I can even fall asleep while binge watching this

[@AlexFarmazon]

Desperate man! Imagine how much it hurt. And now we still need to do the rest somehow.

[@bushhack]

I learned in a separate review today that hair has about 15% nitrogen. It’s good for compost. I wonder where it can be used in your ventures. Perhaps mixing it in clay can help improve internal heat, maybe for glaze, or hardening metals.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

The only thing is that this small quantity of hair would be so insignificant.

[@michaelsorensen7567]

Hair also doesn't break down well though.

[@Tashyncho-Sapa]

the legend says, hes still shaving and now he removed more than 67% of his beard and moustache

[@mathewgurney2033]

As an actual neolithic throwback myself i can assure you, just setting your beard and hair on fire is much more simple, sanitary and effective method, just remember not to breathe in the flames, hold your breath it doesn't take long.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Doesn’t your skin get burned?

[@mathewgurney2033]

@@ChadZuberAdventures No, hair burns very quickly, the flames will roar over your head and consume all beard and hair in seconds and then die out for lack of fuel long before they scald you. Only slight downside is you will smell like burned hair for a week but that firestink repels predators so it's an overall win. Protip, cover your eyes and eyebrows while you do the burn, or you will look really odd for the cavechicks with no eyebrows or lashes.

The part of knapping that really terrifies me is a bit coming back up and into the eye. Bet a lot of the ancient people lost sight in one eye that way.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

It can happen. I think it best to close the eyes right at the moment of impact.

I heard that the first safety razor was invented in the 1890s. We've certainly come a long way since then. Thanks for sharing this video. Cheers, Chad! ✌️

[@leoe.5046]

Safety razors back then weren't really safe from a modern perspective, I guess😂

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yeah, modern razors certainly are a lot more effective.

[@POKker1996]

@@leoe.5046 the 1890 saftey razor is actually still used to this day, it works just like any regular shaver and uses those iconic double edged blades. Since it's public domain safety razors are dirt cheap and so are the blades. Also if you travel a lot safety razors guarantee that you'll find blades even at the most remote corner of the globe. Modern razors are just one sided safety razors with wimpy blade modules meant to be thrown away and to keep creating patents so shavers obsolesce fast. The safety razor is also unisex, and suited for all needs, face or corporal.

[@ninjadruidassasin666]

i think that moustache protects you from all that dust and wood particles that you live in. It acts as a first layer of protection before your nasal hair. And the beard around the mouth catches some of the dust when you breathe from your mouth!

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

I haven't noticed a difference with that. If a beard and mustache collect all that dirt then the dirt is right there next to my nose and mouth and inevitably will loosen and end up in my nose and mouth.

[@ninjadruidassasin666]

@@ChadZuberAdventures that is true, but all that collected dirt - dust will be washed away each time you wash your face. Think of it as clearing the filter each morning. That is why woodworkers use masks. And all the dwarves on fantasy novels have thick beards cause they are mining all the time. It is just my speculation and how I reason stuff like that. I believe that you know better since you spend much more time in that living conditions.

[@kandihinshaw1870]

Chad sweetheart I hate to correct you. But men aren't the only people that can grow beards. Women actually have the ability to grow facial hair. And we also have the ability to grow a beard. Example the bearded lady. The Wolfman his daughter had facial hair. It's a rare condition. But she grew hair all over her body. I think she had it lasered off because she didn't really like the way it looks. Also women going through menopause will grow facial hair. That's when we have to have it waxed and plucked off. It's painful and uncomfortable and it hurts

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yeah, I understand those exceptions but I've never in my life seen a woman with a beard like this.

[@michaelsorensen7567]

And some people have 12 fingers and toes due to the rare condition called polydactyly. VERY rarely, even more. I've met a man with 6 fingers on each hand. I've never met a woman with a full beard. But even then, they're exceptions to the rule

[@giorgitatarashvili3875]

Watching this channel, realized that the best thing a man can do is to be quite and live in nature.

[@cope_r3270]

Now the most important part is where to find some obsidian stones

[@kysa3535]

when you are back in normal lfie, everything will be to easy.

[@benwhite8863]

Facial hair also will assist in diverting some force from blows to the face. Each hair is like a tiny ball bearing that will reduce the time of impact, and thus the force, of facial strikes. It's not a lot, but it's something.

[@ChadZuberAdventures]

Yeah, not really the greatest reason to have a thick annoying beard.
