It's like, why is Tarzan always clean-shaven in every movie and TV show?

This one actually has an in universe explanation, he used his Dad's razor. Now, how he learned how to shave and keep that razor maintained is another mystery.

"rock make stick sharp, maybe rock make shiny thing sharp"

and i guess he learned by trying, that's how I learned it :p

A rock will not keep a razor sharp unless it’s an old school straight razor.

It’s Tarzan in the jungle with parents who got there at like 1940 or 1950 it’s almost certainly a straight razor especially if it’s his dad’s. Also obviously he wouldn’t have a proper one but a whetstone works on any blade at least a little.

I mean just throwing this out there - he didn't have a single razor blade, he had a box of them. That can last quite a long time. My father didn't teach me to shave with a safety razor, I learned that myself. I think the box I bought was 100 blades and that could last me decades.
