Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nick from the Air Force.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey, now, can I ask you this, and please forgive
me for not knowing the answer to this.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
I did not serve in the uh in the military.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I don't know if it's when you first get in
or if it's the entire time that you're enlisted. What
were the rules in terms of shaving and facial hair?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Yeah, so you have to have a clean shave and
that started from like day one and basic training and
all that, and uh, you know there are some medical
waivers now for you know, man with razor bombs and whatnot,
or even actually religious waivers now, so like if you
believe in you know, uh, like sore or something like that,
(00:43):
or some religious right.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I understand what you're saying. You don't get that.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah, but if let's just say like like just the
standard rank and file clean shaven from day one?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Is it until the day you retire?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Correct? Yeah, there's no like seniority where you can just
like all of a sudden now just have like a beard, and.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
What about like what and no mustache?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Right, No, you can have mustache. It actually used to
be where you know, it had to it couldn't protrude
past the opening of your your lip like the outside
of your lip. But now they actually I think just
changed it a little bit to where you can.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Oh, I could go full on Raleigh fingers on that thing,
but I can't have I can't have a beard, and
I can't go all the way up like my cheeks
or anything.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Negative. I actually have a funny story about, you know,
shaving and basic training the TI. He literally told everyone
that in the UH at the end of the first
day in the morning, I.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Need you guys to shave your faces, no uh, facial
hair whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Everybody clean shaved next morning? Uh, everybody lines up. One
kid shaved his beard and his eyebrows.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Oh yes, now, Nick, stay with me for one second.
Stay with me for one second. Last, Tyler, who for
just being totally transplant transparent not in the military.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
How long does it take you to shave it?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I make a thing out of it, so it takes
me a while because it does involve three showers.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The I'm sorry, three showers.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Yes, I always shower before I shave to soften the hair.
Right then I will jump in the shower again after
I've used my single blade sensitive skin bick with the
CETA fill for her it's not the pink one always right, always,
(02:43):
and then I jump back in the shower.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Right.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Then I will use an electric razor, right, and then
I jump back in the shower.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So you so you you use the blade to get
down low and then the electric to finish off or.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
To even even with the most sensitive of raisers around
the Adams apple, it can still nicky right or by
the corners of your mouth like you mentioned for the
mustache length, right, So I will use an electric just
to get in there. Sure's it seems to be just
a nice finishing touch.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Right, Nick, You ready to kill yourself? Nick?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Tell Diane when you were when you were in like
maybe not day one at your peak. By the way,
if I had to guess, Tyler sounds like.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
He's in about three hours to shave.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
If I had to guess, it's probably fifteen twenty minutes
to shave. Nick, How long would it take you to
shave when you were when you were enlisted?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
So I would only just I would do it in
the shower. I would honestly, I have a mirror that
was on my wall, and I would just lad the
rope with either shaving cream or even soap or whatever.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
And just do a quick.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Shave and then you know, wash my hair, wash my body,
and so it was probably at the fifteen minute shower
that included shaving.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
If you had to just isolate shave time, would you
say it was somewhere between a minute and two.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Minutes, probably something like that.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That seems superhuman, the beast, And when I superhuman.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I was seventeen when I joined, and I actually didn't
have facial here, so I just presented like I was
shaving basic.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
All right, very good, I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
My friend Line three, hi Ellie of the Morning, he Doug, Hey,
who's X.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Were you in the military?
Speaker 6 (04:37):
I was, I was in the Navy for about nine years.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And I'm sorry I didn't get your first name, Scott. Scott.
Total time it took to.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Shave usually about a minute min and a half.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
That seems that seems so unbelievable. That seems a real
to me. That it is.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It takes you that quick.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
When you shave every day, you really don't have a
lot of hair, so you just get in the stubbles
off your face, so it's really not like, you know,
taking a long time to shave.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Okay, that's redemption for me.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
The uh, okay, that's fine, but what did you do?
I read that.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So they were saying that, like and again, I'm probably
fifteen minutes right, if I had to guess, need to
the okay, Scott, How long is Scott? If Scott goes
into shave ten minutes, fifteen minutes probably like tennis, Yeah, tennish.
They were saying, Guys in the military, I bet Mike's
like this. Yeah, Mike's fast as hell. Guys in the military,
the fast ones just under a minute, normal, just over
(05:46):
a minute, and they do they talk about it's every
day and there's no there's no such thing as a
five o'clock shadow. They said, if there are guys who
like grow in fast, they have to shave twice a
day so that they don't get hammered.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Can you Ama?
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Is that true?
Speaker 5 (06:05):
On TRL?
Speaker 6 (06:07):
I actually had a funny story just like that last caller.
But when we uh, I flew from Boston to Orlando
and I sat in the USO office at the Orlando
airport waiting for my company to form. So we got
we got to the training center probably around midnight, and
you get off the bus and they're screaming in your face.
So the first thing they make you do is go
(06:28):
into the bathroom and shave, and they give you these
those those big razors, right, and they give you twenty second.
They give you twenty seconds to shave.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Everybody.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Everybody had toilet papers all over their face from blood.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Now, let me ask you this, do you use like
when you're in the military. Do they give you shaving
cream or do you have to like get your own.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
You can buy your own, but when you go they
give you they give you a date to go to
the UH to go to the exchange and then you
can buy your your your good razor and good shaving cream.
But the other stuff, it was that barbarasal.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Right, I mean, oh that's good for I got you.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Oh yeah, all right, dude, Hey, I appreciate the phone call.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Thank you my friend. Could you imagine shaving in a minute.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And I understand what he's saying of if you shave
every day, it's not there.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
First of all, shaving every day is a pain in
the ass.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
You've had to do that, the say again your life,
you've had to do that.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I could probably count on one hand the number of
times I've had to shave on consecutive days.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Maybe I've never done that.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
To shave on consecutive days, I want to say, And
I don't even know, but I know that I have.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Were you going through like a couple of interviews at
that point.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I don't even know what it was, but I just
know I had to shave on consecutive days, and that's
a pain in the ass.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
And there are plenty of people, not just military, by
the way.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I also didn't realize, guys, military had to shave every
single day, but like, there are people who go to
work and they have to shave every day or or
or choose to shave every day.
Speaker 8 (08:09):
But are they shaving this fast? I have no wrapped
my area in a minute a minute. I did learn
two important things, though. Let me try lying six hi
Elliet in the morning.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
And everybody, Hey, who's this?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
This is Josh for Richmond.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Hey, Josh, did you serve.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
I did? I was with the brains uh back in
the early two thousand.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I appreciate it, and I'm assuming like everybody else clean shaven,
my friend.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
That's correct from day one.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Wow, dude, do you guys know that going on? That
would be a that would be that would that would
set me.
Speaker 7 (08:48):
Of your first questions at boot camp.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Well, no, I'm in I'm I'm downside, I'm I'm in
the office thinking about the recruitment. Do they tell you
you've got to shave every single day? Oh?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Yeah, you know that. That's not a This isn't like
a surprise when you show up to boot camp and
they're like, oh, by the way, here you know.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Anyway, I'm sorry you were saying.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
So, my facial hair is so thick and it's so
dark that I would actually have to shave two to
three times a day because it would look like I
had a five o'clock shadow an hour after I shaved.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
So what I mean, what do you do?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Like, I mean, how much free time do you have
in the day to keep shaving?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Essentially, you would shave in the morning, and then I
would have to go back and shave at lunch, and
then when we would get off work, if I wanted
to leave, I would have to shave again. Until I
got to the point where I was like, guys, this
isn't here. It's just dark looking, And eventually they believed me.
But yeah, for a while, I'd shave up three times
a day.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
And would they if you didn't shave again at lunch.
Would would they have just just gotten in your face
and let you have it.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Oh yeah. They would have then handed me the crappiest
razor and been like, hey, you could spit on your
hand to loop it up and shave. There you go.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
How long does it take you to shave?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Like when you were when you were doing it three
times a day, were you done in a minute?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
So when I had the time after boot camp, I mean,
you know, you'd take a couple of minutes. You're not
rushing through it. But in boot camp, I mean you'd
have thirty to thirty seconds to a minute and a half,
depending on the drill instructor in the day and how
he feels.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Oh my god, Oh my god, Shot Tyler hasn't even
gotten done with his first shower to just soft soften
the face and all.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
All right, dude, I appreciate it, Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Yes, these guys could literally shave twice before I'm set
to start from corn dog and basic training. I skipped
shaving one morning and my drill sergeant noticed and yelled
at me and said I had thirty seconds to shave.
Cut my chins so badly it left a gas for
a month.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
But it also sounds like if you cut yourself while shaving,
you get in trouble. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
But if you're if you're a novice at that, you
know what I mean, you.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Better learn quick.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
So in reading this whole story, which I'd never heard of,
I can't even imagine. They said, some guys are so
good at it, which last week he said he was
the Michael Winslow modern radio.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
The some guys were so good that as they were
with their wet hand, as they were going to put
like to put water on their face, there's squirting shaving
cream in there, so it meets it on the way
as to not.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Take extra time.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Wow, they said, never ever ever use an aerosol can.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
For shaving cream. Too many chemicals to any chemicals in.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
There, more chance of like burning yourself.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, burning yourself if you and if you what you
call it, if you if you nick yourself, there's too
many chemicals. So they said, Now again, I don't know
if guys in the military were following that. It sounds
like some guys would just I believe, spitting their hand
to move it up.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Umm.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Oh, what that's like on a shin. I can imagine
that on your cheeks.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
The said, a lot of guys would like if they
thought that they were going to be late in this
article I was reading, they would dry shave.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
They said, it's very unhealthy for you.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
See, you can't get hurt by the shaving cream if
you use the moisturizing cream instead.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
No, you know what they said, and they gave the brand.
They said, there's two essential things. Now again we're all
not in the military, right, there are two things that
you need. Number one, you need a triple blade razor.
Everybody goes for the mock three, the Gillette mock three.
And they also said that you should use a a
(12:58):
shaving cream in a two Never even seen that before. Yeah,
because that way there's no chemicals like in the aerosol
that they need for it to squirt out of there.
They also said that if I mean, if you're really
bougie and you have time, and my guys from the
military online, we'll laugh at these people, go ahead and
use a brush and create a nice lather.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
And put that out like you're at a barber shop
in the old days.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That ain't happening even and I've never done that now
they do say they said one of the best ones
you could use is now.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Diane will know.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
This brand from when she and Joe Beveloqua used to
go shopping. Keels Close Shavers Squadron Ultimate Brushless shave cream
is in a tube that also sounds expensive, but experts
will say that's one of the best ones that you
could use.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
You know.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
I was surprised yesterday because of the partnership with the
Sephora Cole's has a ton of Keels come my eyes.
I was walking through who was a stop after we
went to Spirit Halloween?
Speaker 7 (13:59):
Dan, what don't we get?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
And I was speaking of spitting. Do you know that
Spirit Halloween has an official hawk to a section?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Do you say really?
Speaker 7 (14:08):
Yes? Yes, and it's that girl is getting paid.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I bet she is.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
The tag on the shirts has it says Haley Welch
like it's an official line. It says in the store,
and that's what it says.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Underneath. What is the costume? Is it her holding the
thumb and you spin on it?
Speaker 5 (14:28):
No, you get a cowboy hat and a shirt that
says spin on that thang.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, it was an end cap. That's what my drill
instructor said. Spin on that thing and lub your face.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
I could not believe that. I haven't seen anything online
about it, so it was a total surprise.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I use edge gel. That's done.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
I'm gonna shaving gel.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Somebody when I was when I was young, somebody said
use this. Yeah, there it is. It's top orange. Yeah,
no more, no more. Hi, it's Elliott for keels.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
A five ounce tube is twenty four bucks. That seems expensive.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, back.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Check Coles.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Where am I going? Kristen? Hi Elliott the morning?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Hi is this me?
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Yeah? Hi?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Who is this?
Speaker 9 (15:24):
This is Adam from Richmond.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
How you doing, Adam? I am doing fantastic. Thank you.
You were in the military, Yes, sir, it was.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I was in the Navy.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Thank you, my friend. What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (15:35):
I was just saying pretty much a lot of the
times while we were out to see and we would
have shaving green to start, but we didn't have a
lot of time, so we would just dry shave most
of the time. Dude, talk about a minute.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Doesn't that rip your face just to shreds?
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Depending on some guys, it could.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
Yeah. I still sometimes will dry shave. I keep a mustache,
but even using shaved cream still takes me maybe about
a minute. Even out of the military.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
They said, you want to see a guy roll his eyes.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Find a guy that's in a public gym, like a
Planet Fitness or a Lifetime Fitness, and there's some guy
up there free balling, but like shaving his face.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
In the mirror.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You can tell a military guy will walk up and
we'll just roll the eyes and go all right, here
we go, done, and old balls there is still, you know,
twenty minutes into trying to get himself shaved up.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Hey, how often do you shave? Now?
Speaker 9 (16:31):
Once every two days or so, depending on the season.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I grow a beard out.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
In the winter.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I would assume every guy retires from the military and
turns into David Letterman and just lets it all just
grow and you look like Sanna.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
I definitely went through a phase. I think he went
to mohawks with the first haircut I got wherever I
got out, Yeah, threw be soon thereafter.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, I get it. I get it all right, my friend,
I appreciate it. Thank you, sir, thank you. Isn't that amazing?
A minute I read that and was like, this is
the most fascinating thing I've ever read.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
There's a better chance that you this week get a
sign Lugarrig Baseball, then I am able to shave in
a minute. That's crazy.
