I am leaving for Army basic training in April and was begining to wonder about how that will effect my shaving? Odd thought I know, seeing as how it's supposed to be a life changing event... But my question is this; Does anyone here straight shave in the military? And are there any legal or permissive issues with holding a knife to your throat every day? I am fully aware that I will be bic-ing things through basic, but afterward I would like to continue to shave like a real bloke. Any ideas fellas? Is this one of those things that you just dont mention to your superiors? Are there any officers in the group? Does the Commision change anything versus Enlisted?
