I'm a white dude, and I'm gonna guess most people in the comments are also white dudes, so I have an interesting bit about shaving in the military.

Most black dudes I worked with had a no-shave chit, like a form signed by corpsmen (medics) that says they don't need to shave, at least not down too close to skin.

Too many dudes were getting ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and all kind of nasty job. Especially we trained and worked outdoors more than anywhere else. It was easier to just let people get away with not shaving for a while, but made command pissed off. 

So I just imagine the real version of this would be a dude with a lot of red ingrown hair bumps and nasty crud like that.

Gas masks don’t always fit over beards well I believe is their reasoning because facial hair used to be more accepted
