Maybe Sailor Steve can shed some light on this.

Kind of hard to stay clean shaven without any fresh water and hot water would be preffered. In 63 (20 years later) they turned on the water once a day for about an hour on the USS Salmon (almost the last diesel boat).
If your weren't awake ... tough titty said the kitty, but six weeks is the longest patrol I had to make without water. You get use to the smell after awhile ... lol
The Fresh water stills made the water for coffee and keeping the engines cool ...
and that was all.
Later on in the late sixties I graduated to nuc's and you could grow a beard, but it had to be just right (no scraggly beards alowned) and you had to shave it as soon as we came in.
