Primitive Shave with a Stone (episode 35)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- 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.

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.lunasandal...
(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 RUclips. Sometimes I bought the music but usually it was free.
Wife: Honey we're going to be late for the party, have you shaved yet?
Chad: *grabs a stone* Won't be long!
It took so long that I missed the party.
@@ChadZuberAdventures maybe you shaved the wrong part and missed the party on purpose 😉😏

@@susboy1554 indeed true, fellow!
Pov:his name is chad
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).
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.
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.
@@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.
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
@@ChadZuberAdventures Do you really want your nose to be covered in hair? God didn't create us just for practicality.
I’m so glad chad snuck a camera through a time machine just too go back too the primitive age, what a lad
Hey Chad. Next time you need to break off some flakes of obsidian a rounded river rock actually works much better to produce flakes. Look for one about the size and shape of your palm that feels comfortable in your hand. Just some advice from an anthropologist.
Of course your name had to be Chad, you are literaly the embodyment of Giga Chad. A true legend. Loved the video, keep it up🙏🏻
Being called Chad whilst simultaneously being a Chad is how you win at life
Hi Chad, I know you have some cactus around you and their leaves/paddles are pretty slimy and lubricating with a little water. That would probably work well as a caveman shaving cream and would help with the razor burn too.
Oh yeah, that's a good idea. I've used cactus pulp for treating skin irritations in the past.
No shit...

@@jarretv5438 where would he get the coffee beans? Coffee plants don't grow in the desert.
Was reading comments seeing people call him Chad and I thought that's probably because of the meme. Turns out his name really is Chad. What a Chad!
What rlly?💀💀
So grateful youtubers like you exist. You show history and get to the point. Thank you !
No, thank you very much!
Your videos inspire me and help me keep up with depression, you motivate me to see purpose in life, to engage in DIY. Thank you!
That's good! Thank you! Stay busy.
The patience you show doing things like this is amazing. From knapping the obsidian, to the amount of time it took to shave with the shard, a lot of time and effort was spent. :)
Chad: "I have little experience working with an obsidian"
Audience: We got you, you need diamond pickaxe first
I was about to comment "I'd love to see you shave with stone blades, as they're razor sharp anyway to do the job"
And then he drops this video a minute after I had that thought in mind
You sir, are an absolute legend. Have you heard of Donny Dust? You two may get along well
Update: I commented this the first second it came out
Mans got his brain rocked two times in a row this video 🤣
he mentions in the video donny dust.
Have you watched the video?
And I was all, "Do it in a place where you have good sanitation facilities & a first aid kit on standby..." and he does it right there! *facepalm sighhh...giggle*
Lol... He mentioned Donny Dust on the first few minutes of the video...
What a chad.
what a zuber.
What a nice guy
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. I would pay to stay with you for a month or more, because I am a nature person and I am sure there are many of people like me dreaming to take a break form today and live a life you are living right now.
Thanks for your comment, brother! I would love to hang out here with other people like you and just make cool stuff, collect food, hunt, fish, cook, etc. It would be awesome!
Well I'd call that a successful, albeit somewhat painful looking lesson in primitive shaving. If only there was a primitive aftershave! Many years ago, husband did Native American Rendezvous and he pulled all his hair out with tweezers. I admire the dedication to the journey. I'll stick with my razor for now, but it's good to know that it is possible!!
With tweezers! Wow! That is serious dedication!
@@ChadZuberAdventures indeed it was!!
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.
also a second draft to burn the smoke X^\_
Who are you talking to?? Your previous comment??? What?? Haha hahaha..
@@rajarobertomasoniciclopez8886 I was talking to Chad. They guy who runs the channel. He often responds to me, and his veiwers. He's quite the interesting person, very courteous.
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.
Chad that was the most painful shave I've ever seen. Look forward to some more videos.
Yeah it hurt and I dread the thought of doing it again.
In Spanish, this primitive technique was called "Lascado" by archaeologists. It consists of splitting large rocks or "cores" to obtain small rock fragments with other uses (for example, sharp rocks).
Later, humans learned to hit rocks in such a way that they could get rocks in the shapes they wanted.
Love your videos, two years ago I started watching your content 🙌🏻🙌🏻

@@CesarAngelBenitez por si las moscas /by cause the fly
Man, the sound of that obsidian cutting through hairs is practically therapeutic. So much energy and effort spent on this one goal, and it actually works first time AND it sounds just as good as my razor in the bathroom.
I was expecting this to end badly, but you did a half reasonable job without hacking your face off. Great Job 😎👍

Chad zuber : *breaks obsidian with stone *
Minecraft : wait... thats illegal
Hahaha
To be fair, he broke a bunch of stones with the obsidian too
Saying facial hair is ornamental is the most sigma chad thing I've ever heard in my life. You're about to destroy so many egos
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?
Wow! That was intense! I hope you have some aloe ( or similar) in the area. Your courage to learn and try new things knows no bounds!
Both bearded and shaven looks nice on you. I hope you are pleased with the results. Thank you for sharing your experience and just being you! Have an awesome day ☺️
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.
Yes, a beard does provide some cushion to help reduce the force of a punch.
Chad you are an amazing person keep doing what you love and be safe😁
Thank you!
Legend has it that he is still working on that shave to this day
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.
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.
@@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...
Here's hoping he doesn't shave nose hair with a chunk of lava glass! 😬
@@jt4369 I mentioned that the author/producer of the video had his own experience with facial hair and warmth. It would have been redundant to elaborate further on this point.
@@TW7S95 Not true. All humans have facial hair. Whether it grows in thickness is a matter of genetics and hormones. Millions of women spend billions world wide in products that remove unwanted hair, especially facial hair.
I remember shaving my arm with a piece of obsidian as a child. Then I tested it on my shirt. Several cuts later my mother wasn't pleased with me destroying my t shirt. It just cut through the material so easy I was amazed.
Hahah, it's amazing how sharp it is.
Ok Chad, I laughed out loud when I saw the title of this episode!! It was only a couple weeks ago I was joking about shaving with the stone you cut branches from the juniper tree. I must say, the obsidian is a better choice!! Better than the small torch as well. I can only imagine the razor burn. Peace
Hahaha! I was planning to do this for a while.
this dudes intrusive thoughts is primal tendencies
LOL! you did exactly what I said In a comment to someone else on your beard post. 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 😁👍
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
@@RATOCOMBATENTE sound advice ^_^
I was in a hurry to do this before it got dark. I don't have any river rock here and this obsidian doesn't behave at all like other stones I've shaped such as rhyolite. I just remembered doing it like this before and acquiring a few usable flakes.

@@ChadZuberAdventures thank you😄
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.;-)
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.
Knowing Chad he’ll probably give his beard to the birds for nests. Legend 🤜
All the flintknappers crying inside as he smashes rocks together 🤣
that's wild. (kind of an understatement for this channel i guess lol) the way my skin gets irritated even when trimming with electric shavers i'd probably just go full beard, but i completely understand the discomfort from not being able to recognize oneself. do you reckon it's worth the struggle to shave your beard like that?
not sure how (or if at all) available these options would be, but using oils/fat, aloe vera or even mashed fruits (the type that isn't too watery) as lubricant could be helpful, and even protect the skin.
anyway, hope those razor burns are gone by now, best of luck with the rest of the beard hahah santa chad will be missed! até a próxima chad
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.
Chad, I love the various things that you do, however, may I ask how you keep hydrated enough and how many trips to the spring for water do you make a day?
7:58 not gonna lie to you, i thought homeboy was straight up about to slit his wrist there for a second ahahaha

I haven't shared my rabbit hide story yet! If you like making things from furry cute animals, honoring their lives and thanking them for your needs being met, sit and read this short tail..er..tale!
My mother wanted to emulate me as she is wont to do. This time it was my SW Native collection. She asked for a birthday gift from the collection and I shivered at the thought of losing any of it and that is when it hit me...I would make her a rabbit hide shawl the way I learned from a museum piece in Texas.
I took only 27 medium size farm raised rabbits and the person I bought them from was so grateful to sell so many at once for only two bucks each. Always ready to help!
I started by cutting the hides in one inch wide strips, spiraling it as I went in, cutting with a blade from the skin side. You don't want to lose fur by using scissors! When I got them all cut and found my way out of the fur cloud that surrounded me, I needed a break! That took a long time to do right and I had to figure out some tricks. Suffice it to say, my thumbtack idea worked because rabbit hide tears easily, well, at least the farm raised ones do. I tacked it without puncturing the hide, the edge of the tack leaving a half moon dent that soon stretched out.
Then, I sewed them end to end. I ended up with 221 feet of one inch wide strips of hide.
The next part is genius...I promise! I attached an eye bolt at the end of my longest hall in my home. Through it I tied the end of the strip. On the other end, I put another eye bolt into my drill. Yes, I went high tech! LOL...anyway, I turned it on and was instantly frantic because it happened so fast! I ended up reversing the drill to bring the hide back to flat and proceeded slowly while making sure the fur side was the outside of the weave. Eventually I ended up with a bundle about the size of a five pound powder keg.
Then the fun started. I realized I should haven't sewn them ALL as one the second I got done with the warp. So, I carefully measured with my hand and arm...don't laugh! And thus I managed to make the ball of fur into workable lengths. Now here you can laugh...I didn't think...I really didn't think about stretch! Rabbit hides have some give if they are commercially tanned or brain tanned. No one brain tans a rabbit hide unless they are a purest...I did it once, don't recommend it with a hangover.
The "shawl" became a throw blanket for Michael Jordan. I mean, I made it about yea big and it looked great on my home made "rabbit loom". When I took it off, it sagged. If you ever do this, don't think about how pretty you want it to be. Think about how to keep from catching your fingers and toes in the weave!
Longer story short, she loved it, I didn't tell her it wasn't right. She didn't tell me she thought it was wrong either. My 85 year old mom still has that shawl forty years later and I am pretty sure it has only seen the light of day when we went for a stroll at a reenactment of the Wild Wild West in Oklahoma. I went as a Gypsy who the Sheriff told to "Git outa town by sunset 'er yer in a jail for a month o' Sundays!!" (I had to set up shop at this show because I was running low on money, they let us be a part of the show in exchange for letting me put my handmade lean-to up along the "outskirts" of the town. I loved it. I am Wiccan too so while I don't charge for any spiritual services...not even for legally marrying people...but I do take donations but I have never told anyone I take them. If they hand me a gift, I accept it and hold their hand and smile. Precious people should be gifted smiles because they will remember you at that moment. It keeps you alive.
At the end of that weekend, I could afford driving home and my mom hadn't complained about being cold...not once.

This is an awesome story! Thanks so much for sharing. I’m thinking to make a rabbit fur blanket now.
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.
The only thing is that this small quantity of hair would be so insignificant.
Hair also doesn't break down well though.
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.
Doesn’t your skin get burned?
@@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.
Been watching since the first video. Amazing!! You have achieved lots and learned lots. You should be proud.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Not proud. Just more enlightened.
Wow, the quality of the video, all the subtitles, the info, etc, all is amazing!
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
It was an ugly piece and it had to go!
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.

Wondering where you set up your hut; is it on a piece of land you own, back yard, or completely off the grid?
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.
When I saw the thumbnail, a thought came to my mind that Chad will first take a flat slab of rock and polish it until it becomes reflective and use it as a mirror for shaving 😅

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 🤣
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
Yeah, I understand those exceptions but I've never in my life seen a woman with a beard like this.
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
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.
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! ✌️
Safety razors back then weren't really safe from a modern perspective, I guess😂
Yeah, modern razors certainly are a lot more effective.
@@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.

what a chad moment
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.
It can happen. I think it best to close the eyes right at the moment of impact.
I didn't even know that it was possible to make a flintstone so sharp that you can shave yourself.
Totally possible
Obsidian is a powerful metaphysical protection stone as well
Beards in cold are great! Not in hot climates, especially living outside. ITCHY!!!
Dear Chad Zuber.
Oh WOW, what crazy numbers! You have 2.22 million subs, todays European date is 22.02.2022 (my birthday) and the time was exactly 22.22 Uhr when I started to watch your channel.
Best regards, luck and health.
sheesh
Evolutionary a man's beard is there to cushion blows and protect the weak jaw bone during fights. It's surprisingly easy to break a jaw when hit in the right place. A broken jaw would be a death sentence back in the day.
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!
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.
@@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.
Right at the beginning of your flintknapping you had a face on the obsidian that would've broke off to make the perfect cutting edge imo. Not ever flint knapped myself but I've watched a lot of video on the theory behind, some from the fellow you mentioned. It's cool that you got to experiment with it though.
Learning how to nap a stone, or breaking it slowly into smaller chunks until you get the desired shape, would be extremely beneficial for you. :D You should practice, maybe then you can move to stone tools.
I have practiced. Obsidian is particularly difficult and very different from other stones I've worked with. I have never had any success with obsidian.
I always thought you are brave. But this is super brave. Can't wait to see the outcome
Am I brave? Or just stupid? :-)
Alfa males: Ouch i already used this blade for shaving and it's dull. I have razor burn now.

Ohhh nooooo.
Not the beard.
I wear a beard, my heart is crying.

Don't cry!
Great video. Thank you. Greetings
Dude just created a primitive shaving tutorial in ASMR.
Exactly!
