Soldiers in World War I typically shaved themselves in makeshift areas like the barracks or trenches, often using a small mirror and a straight razor or safety razor. Due to the cramped and unsanitary conditions, personal grooming was often a quick and utilitarian task. Some soldiers also used portable washbasins or water from nearby sources when available. Overall, maintaining personal hygiene was challenging but essential for morale and health.
