Cleaned and shaved between scenes
From BearWiki
Claim: Bear is often cleaned and clean-shaven between scenes without a logical explanation for it.
Bear is often found cleaned and clean-shaven between scenes; this can be observed in most episodes. This applies to both his skin and clothing, even when there is no water to be found. A typical example is as in the Mount Kilauea episode, where after moving through a lava tube and "barely" managing top claw his way to the surface through wet, dense brush and muddy soil, the next scene shows him in a neatly pressed and clean shirt. Likewise, he rarely shows evidence of sunburn -- just his usual tan. This trend continues all the way into the third season, where he dives into a muddy sand pit, comes out filthy, and is miraculously clean by the next scene.
[edit] Analysis
Support: When you're staying overnight in a lodge or B&B, it's easy to get a complimentary razor & shaving cream.
Support: The footage could be edited and scenes where Bear gets really dirty could be shot last.
Oppose: He is not a hairy guy, and he wipes his hands on his cloths
- Support: Unless he has some sort of genetic deformity, he's shaving. Adult human males aren't clean shaven after days in the middle of nowhere. He magically avoids 5:00 shadow after most of a week in each episode. The combination of testosterone and hair follicles just doesn't work that way. And, sorry, but wiping your hands on your pants doesn't clean that well. His clothes, face, arms, legs, etc sometimes get suddenly cleaner as well, without any water. Need screenshots?
Oppose: He might have a genetic deformity. I know plenty of men who do not grow facial hair unless they don't shave for about a week. They edit it out a lot, so his clothes could dry during the time we don't see.
Oppose:Ok he's in the Mohab desert. That means it's hot and he will sweat. Natives in that area use sweating to clean themselves as water is to scare(citation needed). He will have sweat off the dried mud. There could easily been hours in between shoot times.
- Support: Is the above statement serious? He was in the desert near Moab, Utah USA. “Natives” in the area clean themselves like any other Americans – with soap and water.
- Support: Even if the poster meant "historically", it's a silly notion. Anyone who's ever been covered in dirt on a hot day can tell you that you cannot just "sweat off" the dirt.
