This is a picture of a shaving set that they would of used in Tudor times. Most of these are very sharp and pointed. That's why they had to be very careful with them so they don't cut them selves. They would have belonged to quite rich people. Sometimes poor people used them as well. They would have used the scissors to cut their beards, and their hairs on their face. The thing next to the scissors is a cut throat razor. You scrape it down your throat and face and it cuts all your hairs on your face.
