There is no evidence of Humans shaving until well after the end of the last major glacial phase, approximately 8000 years ago.
Before the advent of razors, some humans removed hair using two sea shells to pull the hair out. Later, around 3,000 BC, when copper tools were developed, humans developed copper razors. The idea of an aesthetic approach to personal hygiene may have begun at this time, though Egyptian priests may have practiced something similar to this earlier. Alexander the Great strongly promoted shaving during his reign in the 4th Century BCE. By the rise of Ancient Greek civilisation, shaving was widespread and popular. The Romans adopted the fashion off the Greeks, along with many other fashions, ideas and philosophy.

In short no.The introduction of shaving is credited to the Roman Empire,probably starting as a fashion created by their Barbers in one of their many bath houses.The trend spread along with the Empire with many cultures adopting it so they could fit in to this new society.The Romans were a very vain race spending a lot of time and money on their dress and appearance a trait still found in their descendants today.

It is highly unlikely that men of the stone age shaved . Now they might have started shaving in the bronze or iron age , Before that nobody knew how to do metal-work

Both men and women shaved, but in better places, they did not have TV or Internet and thus needed to have some sport and they made good use of their shaved parts.

I believe they were the first to use Bic razors - that's why cave drawings were done in blood.

Yep, back in the day when razors only had one blade.

Nope I don't think so. And the cave women definitely don't have sanitary pads!
