Are Electric shavers allowed on the PRMC?

I am not sure if they are allowed or not. They probably are.

But you HAVE to have a wet shave every morning even if you don't get stubble. You will get a real rollocking if you don't and most likely be put on the flank. SO there isn't really much point in taking an electric shaver.

Oh and don't put your sheets in your locker wet either, they don't like that to much.

IMO electric shavers are never going to give a shave even close to a wet.

And even if you are allowed to use a electric at CTCRM (which I doubt) you wont have much time in the morning and a wet shave is much faster, also power points in the field are few and far between

Get yourself a Wilkinson Sword and some King of Shaves Gel Stinky

Gillette the best a man can get

electric shavers are SHITE unless you fork out at least 150 quid!i seen some in the shop for 200!opted for the cheapest 30 quid ones and its the worst purchase ive ever made.

still,im not keen on the idea of shaving everyday as my skin becomes irritated,and somtimes even after a shave,that nite i get the stubble back

Electric shaver or wet shaver I always used to get pulled up on parade having quite dark bristles underneathe At least with a wet shave they can't complain so much.

it really is a f@#k chore!takes ages,and even when you proper press down and go against the grain its impossible to completely get rid of all the stubble!then you finish up ripping your face to bits aswell.ffs its the bain of my life lol

Im lucky enough that even at 23 i only shave every 3-4 weeks. I only get bum fluff which makes me look like an ASBO kid down your local shops!

Get ready for wet shaving in the dark on woodbury common. No light just shaving unitl you look like somthing out of saw.

Umm, nice cam cream mixed in with stubble and a bic razor with cold water....that sraping noise is something to remember.

Try using head and shoulders to get rid of cam cream.

Its genius.

Any liquid soap does the job. For best results put it on a paper towel then just wipe the cam cream off. You will have to rinse the soap off afterwards though.

As to electric razors, they were a big no-no when I was in basic, and I'm pretty sure they still are.

Get a wet razor which is easy to clean (i.e. not some 5 bladed monstrosity) and buy 'brushless shave'. It comes in a toothpaste type tube, and is the dogs nads for shaving in the field.

I know a girl called Gillette...As you can imagine she gets the slogan said to her a lot

Personally, I like to think of shaving as another test. Just practise speed and quality and you should pass just fine!

Cheers.

What would they say if i went down to PRMC with a beard like Osama Binf#ckface?

Ah what if your religious and not to shave was part of that? Where wold you stand then? ( apart from in the cold!)
