You don't have to suck it up, there is laser hair treatment for hair removal that the Army will pay for.
But, yes you may have a shaving profile, I have a buddy who is a warrant with one. However, I know that in his board packet he was clean-shaven

By regulations, you may be able to have one, but I have never seen one. I’d advise to figure out how to shave better. Just my opinion.

Oh ok thanks. I mean I can shave but with razors like bump patrol, they just don't get as close as Gillette razors.

SSG (Join to see) O had shaving issues in the past. Best thing I have found is to use a pre-shave oil, a good soap lather with a brush, or a good shave cream. Also, multiple blades on the razor do not make it better. I switched to an old school, single blade safety razor. For one, you can by a pack of 100 for about $20. 2nd, they have been around forever, so they must work. 3rd, more blades equal more irritation. Afterward, use a good after shave lotion. If you get lots of in-grown hairs, shave once in one direction, then shave again in a cross direction. It makes the stubble into more of a point, and keeps it from sticking and becoming in-grown. Barber tips complete. Hope it helps.
