Why was shaving invented?

Is it known why the Egyptians shaved? Are they the earliest known shavers (as opposed to leaving the earliest surviving razors)?

I'm curious about why someone first decided to scrape the hair from his chin. I've never had a relationship with anyone clean-shaven. I don't know if that's why shaving seems weird to me, or if it's the other way round!

Quite possibly it is an illusion to youth. Shavers just want(ed) to appear younger than their years.
