Yes. Shaving is associated both with practicality (a clean-shaven fighter can't be pulled around by his beard, where in hand-to-hand combat a beard is a major risk) and with formality (being clean-shaven is held to be a sign of tidiness and respectability, and looks tidier).

It also has to do with the proper fitment of the Gas Mask and an appearance of professionalism. Most civilian employers require you to shave or keep a tidy appearance. Now you are authorized to wear a mustache but again it must be keep with in regulation.
