How did men shave in the middle ages?

The answer is "not very often". Knives were used, or shears if the beard or hair were very long, and the knives were not always very sharp.

Wergild was a monetary compensation paid by an offender to the victim or their family to avoid blood feuds and settle disputes, essentially valuing a person's life or injury in financial terms. In contrast, the ordeal was a trial by physical test, where the accused would undergo a dangerous or painful situation (like carrying hot iron) to determine their guilt or innocence, based on the belief that divine intervention would protect the innocent. While wergild focused on restitution, the ordeal emphasized divine judgment and the supernatural.
