Shaving

I know that in the Military if you aren't able to use a razor, you can get a waiver that allows you to just use clippers. I can't use razors because my skin reacts negatively to them so will I be able to use clippers instead at the Academy?

DS has an electric razor. Did not require a waiver. He even could take them to Jacks Valley during BCT 2. I assume 'clippers' would follow the same rules.

I expect it might depend on how close those clippers cut.
