Did WWII soldiers really have to stay clean-shaven? In this video, our reenactor shows one of the most overlooked parts of a soldier’s daily routine—shaving in the field. A smooth face wasn’t optional. It ensured gas masks sealed properly, maintained discipline, and helped with hygiene in tough conditions. A simple task, but essential to staying battle-ready. #WWIIHistory #LivingHistory #Reenactment | The Museum of the Waxhaws
