Should i shave the night before i ship? Or wait until they have us shave at boot?

You don't get a lot of time to shave the first night so I would shave at the latest opportunity before you ship so there isn't much time for stubble growth.

Ok thank you very much!

Yeah, I'd shave the night prior. Just so you're going in clean shaved. The first 48 hours I don't believe we even got time to shave... not until the first morning you wake up.

Two questions I thought of from this.

1) What kind of razors will they let us use? Like is it the disposable stuff or when they take us to the NEX can we get better ones?

2) Sadly, I'm one of the guys that has crap skin so when I shave, I break out horribly. When we do go to the NEX will they let us get and use Shaving Cream?

The razors were the kind that had disposable heads with like 4 blades when I went through. Everyone was issued shaving cream too. As females we didn't really use it except for a couple people who used it on their boots.
