Description
Alan Bean has a wet shave inside the Command Module Yankee Clipper. Pete Conrad is to the right of the frame checking lists and chewing gum. The camera floats forward towards Al to show a close up of what he is doing. He continues to concentrate on his shave - making sure it's good!

Historic Context of Clip
Background to Apollo 12:
Apollo 12 was the sixth manned mission in the Apollo program and the second to land on the Moon. Shortly after lift-off from Kennedy Space Center, the Saturn V rocket body was hit by a bolt of upper-atmosphere lightning. The CM's instruments momentarily went off-line and Mission Control lost the telemetry feeds from the spacecraft for several seconds. The mission eventually landed on an area of the Ocean of Storms that had been visited earlier by several unmanned missions (Luna 5, Surveyor 3, and Ranger 7). Conrad and Bean removed pieces of the Surveyor 3, to be taken back to Earth for analysis, and took two Moon-walks lasting just under four hours each. The mission returned 34.35kg of rock samples.
