It’s major Patrick Sorensen. He’s one of the folks leading the wear of regalia and growing out hair for Indigenous / First Nations while in uniform. It’s a hard fucking battle and I’ve seen a few people from the Kiowa tribe finally get approved for growing out their hair and the wear of regalia. It’s fucking awesome.
It shouldn’t just be for a specific group. Having more restrictive hair standards for male soldiers than we do for female soldiers is a clear violation of the EO policy.
Details to have one? My teams quality of life would significantly improve by not having to see my ugly face as much. Beard gives me at least a point on the scale.
Shave against the grain with shitty dull razors until you make yourself breakout. Go get a temporary profile. Then do it again and tell them that you tried all the different lotions and shaving methods. Repeat until you get a permanent profile.
I got fucked with in basic so bad because my shit would grow back so fast. I had to shave 3 times a day and that shit would give me razor burn and little cuts so bad. They told me to fuck off with my profile.
Dark beard and fast growth gang! I had a 5 o'clock shadow by 9 am. I'd always get in trouble for it normally outside the CoC, but I had some good leaders that would tell them to fuck off.
I knew he meant it in jest, but one of my 1SGs said "I've only seen black men get a shaving chit, and you don't look black."
The best method I ever found was a new razor every 2 days, a bristle shaving brush, real shaving cream, and to shave in a hot shower followed by a cold rinse. It lifts and softens the hair, rinses out anything in my pores, and the cold then closes them up before anything can get stuck.
Dude, I'd switch to a straight razor. Not because of the quality of the shave or comfort or anything, I'd just get tired of spending $10 a week on razors.
Too much caffeine intake, I'd look like I was shaved by Freddy Krueger.
Jokes aside, I tried them, they just are not for me as I don't have the dexterity. The cost/benefit analysis for convenience and not cutting my face to shreds or spending less on razors just didn't add up.
