How did the Romans shave? How to make a Roman razor novacula

How did the Romans shave? In this video you can see how a Roman razor was made and how it worked. These razors had different shapes and were usually oiled to prevent the steel blade from rusting.
Physical appearance was very important to the Romans.
Tonsors could be considered our current barbers. They did their work in establishments called tonstrinae or directly on a chair in the street. In addition to razors, they had oils and ointments to facilitate their work. He also used other tools such as scissors and tweezers.

Is the razor meant to be held by having fingers in the 3 holes?

Good observation. At first I thought the holes were for fingers, but after trying it on the replica, it's not very comfortable as the fingers don't fit well. On the other hand, other razor models have other shapes. From all of this I deduce that the holes are to lighten the weight. Thanks for the comment.
