In military contexts to this day, soldiers shave first to prevent parasites (e.g. lice) that result from close quarters and also to minimize lengths of hair that might interfere with combat (e.g. you don't want an enemy to be able to grab your beard or long hair). By extension, then, grooming becomes ritualistic before battle for many soldiers even if it's not technically necessary, and most military units have strict grooming and hygiene rules.
