Definition
To cut hair very close to the skin with a razor or blade, usually on the face or legs.
Etymology
From Old English 'sceafan,' related to Old Norse 'skafa' and German 'schaben' (to scrape). The word is ancient and comes from Germanic roots meaning 'to scrape or cut away.'
Kelly Says
The word 'shave' comes from the same root as 'scrape'—because the original way to shave was literally scraping a sharp stone or blade against your skin. That's why it still slightly irritates skin: we're basically doing what ancient humans did!
