why is it easier for black guys to get a shave waiver versus whites?


Genetics. A lot of black people's facial hair gets ingrown in a hurry and the problem is exacerbated by more frequent shaving.

Some guys just deal with it (my dad never had one, but he had/has constant skin problems with his face as a result), but it's better health-wise to get a waiver if you really need it.

How long will they let you grow it?

I have this terrible (and hilarious) image of myself in Dress Blues with a 6" beard and a high-reg.

I get a lot less ingrown hairs now that I use a double edge razor......still one annoying spot on my chin tho.

I haven't shaved in a week. I've got the beard bug again.
