So I guess expecting a woman to have a Brazilian bikini wax would be right out...
I can see it now, when the Americans units in T2k are on the last (at least for a while) boats heading back to America.
"America Screw that man, we're headin' for Rio De Janeiro, dudes!!!"
"The use of force is always an answer to problems. Whether or not it's a satisfactory answer depends on a number of things, not least the personality of the person making the determination. Force isn't an attractive answer, though. I would not be true to myself or to the people I served with in 1970 if I did not make that realization clear."

You know, this could be a whole cottage industry in T2K. Barbers, hair stylists, people who make and hone razors, or even luxury services like waxing or suchlike in some places. Or people who make hair shampoo or can get the lice out of your hair.
And nearby, the people who are trained to treat the resulting infections, burns, skin disfigurement...

The wreckage of aircraft may be providing all the stainless steel necessary for a few enterprising machinists to make razors.
As I mentioned a few posts back, I can't see why waxing wouldn't still be a reasonable option. Doesn't take much to mix up a batch of "special blend", slap it on and rip it off. Has to be easier than sourcing suitable metal, cutting it down to size and sharpening it up.
Sure, it hurts like a bitch, but as indicated it lasts much longer. I knew a number of soliders who'd wax their faces before going bush to avoid the need to shave in the field.
If it moves, shoot it, if not push it, if it still doesn't move, use explosives.
Nothing happens in isolation - it's called "the butterfly effect"

On a related note - a real-life equivalent is not hard to find. During the 'artillery war' that went on between the PRC and the ROC in the 50s, the PRC fired so many artillery shells at Kinmen Island that the metal has become a 'recyclable' natural resource for the island. In Taiwan, if you want a good knife, you get Kinmen Knife.
