Shave With a Shark's Tooth?

We've got electric razors, cartridge razors, safety razors, straight razors for keeping us smooth, but a shark's tooth?

According to Mental Floss:

In the days before razors, you could either sport a hirsute look or get creative. Records drawn on cave walls show prehistoric people shaving with clamshells, flint knives, and even shark teeth. ... Still other cultures sharpened volcanic obsidian glass and used those.

I'm trying to imagine shaving with obsidian or a shark's tooth. But I can't.

I'm quite attached to my Merkur, thank you very much.
