You can never go wrong listening to veterans giving tips on military life.I never remember issues with guys shaving during basic maybe 2 or 3 had problems but became experts real quick. When your hair starts to grow back make sure no hair touches your ears. We called this whitewalls around the ears. I still do this 42 years after i went to basic :). Don't worry for the most part the only problems i seen was with black guys needing shaving profiles (waivers) I can't see much changing in the hygiene aspect in 42 years humans don't change lol. Back in my time you needed a smooth face to make sure your gas masks sealed properly.
Hooah Motha F’n Lujah!!! Good stuff and Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best! You got this and thank you for hanging out with me on my channel! Stay blessed!
When rinsing my face with water, before I shave, I use hot water. This opens the pours and allows for a closer shave. Then when shaving I keep using the hot water throughout the shave to rinse the blade with.
Take his advice and get up 15 min early! That’s how I made it through Basic. I was walking out of the latrine and ready to be on platoon lines for first formation, when everyone else was walking in! Delta Co, 213, Ft Jackson, “40 ROUNDS!”:

Remember that in the event you find yourself questioning yourself if you made the right decision. You got this!

Whatever works best and comfortable for you. My only complaint with Barbasol is it clogs the razor cartridge faster and require more rinsing compared to Edge. Thank you for watching and stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Is it true that you can't bring a safety razor? I was looking over the packing list I was given by my recruiter, and checked it against militaryonesource, and it all says safety razors are approved? Edit: 7:50 you say you can't bring electric shavers or double-edge safety razors. You responded to one Matt Campbell stating that disposable cartridge razors include disposables and double-edge safety razors. I must confess, I am a little lost.
@@flyingturret208thecannon5 I give this question in great detail in the video in which you just commented on lol… here’s another video as well: BASIC TRAINING PACKING LIST: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rm16JdkrbEE.html Military One Source has nothing to do with TRADOC and initial entry training. I’m also a drill sergeant for context…
@@TEAMSWARTZ I know it was in the video. I was simply confused due to the different sources I've checked for basic training disagreeing with what you said in the video. I forgot to include time stamp, and as stated - the packing list from my recruiter affirms that safety razors are approved for basic training, which is why I'm asking to clarify.
@@flyingturret208thecannon5 Your recruiter is mistaken. Safety Razors are not authorized let alone a metal nail file that it attached to your nail clipper. You’re not allowed any other razors than disposable cartridges as described within the video. The reason behind it, is they don’t want a suicidal person access to anything sharp or a person inflicting harm to anyone else. It’s for your stay and others.
@@TEAMSWARTZ Understood, I've been using a safety razor because cartridges cause so much irritation on my skin. Having to deal with that again is going to be fun.
Pay attention to my comment about liking the lips inward and ironing of the jaw, which stretches the skin and makes it tighter. Easier to shave and applying just enough pressure and at the right angle… Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best!
The shaving was a huge issue for me. My facial hair would have a shadow 3 hours after a shave & I would be constantly accused of not shaving. It was ass but what can you do haha. Thanks for the video once again, Sergeant!
@@mattcampbell5148 Correct.. Only disposable razor cartridges are authorized… To include any disposable straight edge or double edge safety razors. Thank you for watching and stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 BASIC TRAINING PACKING LIST: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rm16JdkrbEE.html
If you have a beard, trim and shave prior before shipping because you’ll get unnecessary attention from your DS’s. They provide haircuts, not facial hair grooming services… Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best!
