<p>Are you required to use a straight razor or can you use an electric razor during the journey at West Point?</p>
<p>You can use an electric razor</p>
<p>During Beast, some companies will force you to use a straight razor since electric razors "don't do the job as well." Also, you probably won't be able to use an electric during field training because it is not very tactical.</p>
<p>I'd just get my face waxed beforehand.
That was meant to be a joke, but now it seems like a good idea...</p>
