Any man that would even walk into one of those trenches deserves respect.

Thanks for posting OneCut, interesting article.
Another note is that during WWI, due to the absurd use of chemical weapons of the time, a clean shaven face meant the difference of having ones gas mask seal properly....life or death issues for a good shave.

Ah, good point. I used to work on radios in such places as oil platforms and refineries and would carry a disposable razor in my service vehicle (before I started wet shaving) and remember having to stop at a fast food restaurant or gas station and cold shave in the bathroom if there was a trouble call for these locations because of the safety mask issue.
