Ladies and gents, believe me when I say that 'core values' transgressions are taken very seriously at the modern day RTS.
What may (or may not) have been permissible when we went through is now massively frowned upon.
I'm not being a killjoy, simply trying to give a (recent) instructors point of view, to try and help people getting more attention than they need from the flight staff.
Personally, whilst carrying out inspections, if I saw a tin of shaving gel didn't have a little bit of residue from that days shave (no matter how well you wash it out, if it's been used that day, there will be a bit of residue), then I'd start to question if the recruit had shaved that morning.
It's been said on this site before, and no doubt will be again, if you're prepared to try and pull the wool over someone's eyes with regards to if you've rinsed out the cap of your shaving gel, what other 'minor' thing are you prepared to try and cover up? Perhaps that you knocked the seat pan firing handle on an ejection seat....?
It all boils down to Integrity.
And let's be honest, is it really that hard to rinse your shaving kit each morning...?
