The best a Ro-man can get!
Burton Mail
|November 25, 2025
A 2,000-year-old razor which was used to keep Romans looking sharp is set to fetch hundreds of pounds at an Etwall auction.
The 9cm-long (3.5in) iron blade had a hole for the shaver to put their finger in so they could drag it across their face to remove stubble.
It also had a loop for the owner to attach it to their belt or on a necklace to prevent them losing it or having it stolen.
The razor is expected to sell for £600, but could fetch far more when it goes under the hammer at Hansons Auctioneers this week.
Bargain Hunt star and auctioneer Charles Hanson said: "I'm not sure how close a shave you would get, but imagine if it could talk.
"Think of all the ancient chins it was used on and the stories their owners could tell.
"It truly is a remarkable piece of ancient history."
