Remember on the original Planet of the Apes when Col. Taylor shaved for the first time around Cornelius and Dr. Zira? They said his bald face somehow made him look less intelligent. I always found that funny.

Way back during the dawn of man, men noticed ice crystals forming in their beards during winter, and started shaving to prevent it. The ice crystals were caused by the moisture in their breath condensing on their beards and freezing.

It was during a fight between two stone age men !, one guy took a swipe at the other with a quartz blade and just missed taking his face off, the guy raised his hand up and felt his face and said - hey i like that.... Smooth !, and the other guy said yeah suits you too !!, and that's how it started :-)

Cavemen used to drag their women by their hair. Maybe the men didn't want to be confused or they feared retribution :)
