All true, although the Romans did not use moisturizer. They did use olive oil in their hair, however. I still believe that the "oiled bodies" phenomenom in the gladiator films was pure Hollywood.

I still believe that the "oiled bodies" phenomenom in the gladiator films was pure Hollywood. They rubbed oil on the parts of their bodies they wanted to shave, then used a scaper (not really sharp enough to be called a "razor") to scrape the hair and oil off. So there's actually some truth to it.
