Hi all,

I have generally been in a support role at work (editorial) and thus don't have much contacts with clients. However, I have a new add on assignment and I will be meeting the client for dinner at 7:00 after work on Wednesday.

I have (mostly) dark hair, and by dinner, my 7:00 shadow will be very obvious, so I am considering doing a one-pass touch up at work before going to dinner. However, we have a "weapons" policy and I am a bit nervous about bringing a straight to the office for my touch up. It's been so long since I've used a safety razor that I'm concerned about making more of a mess of my neck than I would by not shaving at all.

So my question is...for those of you who shave at work, either regularly or infrequently, have you gotten weird looks or risked disciplinary action for bringing a straight to work? I certainly am not planning to attack anyone, and if someone sees me shaving in the bathroom, I doubt they will assume anything sinister, but I'm a bit on edge about all aspects of this meeting!
