Depends on what I'm shaving.
My beard? Nah.
The young intern down the hall? Hell Sure.

I am somewhat confused as to the last line, yet properly intrigued dare I say.

This. I don't understand why anyone would shave, brush their teeth, or do any of that stuff at work. Don't people look at you funny if you walk in the office with a shaver? :awe:

I'm with you on this. One of my employees cuts his fingernails on company time. Drives me nuts. He'll be retiring in less than a year though. Not worth wasting my time on him.

When I worked HAZMAT jobs, it wasn't uncommon to have to shave on the job site before work and at lunch...I don't grow a thick beard, so it always seemed like overkill for me, but it was the policy on the job and applied to everyone on the job site.

Electric razor came in handy for this task.

this reminds me of a thread when someone complained about why would you take a dump at work and not "time it" to do it when you're at home

I brush my teeth after I eat breakfast and lunch while I'm at work. I keep a toothbrush, toothpaste, and mouthwash in one of my cabinets. I've never shaved at work but I really don't see any problem with it.

Wake up 20 minutes earlier and shave in your own fucking home.

I've dropped some disgusting shit bombs at work. The LAST place I would ever want to shave in and leave small open cuts exposed to someone else's shit smells is the bathroom office.

Sometimes shit happens. Alarm clock doesn't go off. One of the kids is sick and you have to check on them. I could go on and on but I won't.

Also, it's obvious that folks work in different work environments. If your bathroom consists of a porta-potty, then fuck no on shaving in there. In my particular case, it's an 18 story building and I tend to go to the floor below mine since it's rarely used.

While odd, I wouldn't make it a habit of shaving in an office bathroom just because it raises eyebrows and leads to all kinds of speculation about you. In a pinch, I have shaved at work and even showered a few times (we have a locker room with showers) for example, the water once got shut off at my house for 2 days due to construction so I showered at work. I dont see a problem with clipping fingernails or brushing teeth in company bathroom.

You'd be amazed to learn some of the places I've shaved.

Pics?

So, you think smell can get into and infect an open wound?

What do you think you're smelling, pixie dust? It's particles of the mass it came from.

I love reminding germ-a-phobes of this. Yes, when you walk into a stinky bathroom, you just walked into a cloud of shit particles.

This reminds me of that mythbusters ep where they found fecal spores on toothbrushes.

DO ALL TOOTHBRUSHES CONTAIN FECAL MATTER IF THEY'RE IN THE BATHROOM?


Finding: CONFIRMED
Explanation: Every time you flush a toilet, it releases an aerosol spray of tiny tainted water droplets. So if, like many people, you leave your toothbrush in the vicinity of a toilet, does that mean it's regularly bathed in bits of fecal matter? MythBusters Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage uncovered the dirty truth to this myth by covering a bathroom with 24 toothbrushes, two of which they brushed with each morning — the others they simply rinsed every day for a month. As experimental controls, the MythBusters kept two untainted toothbrushes in an office far away from the lavatory. At the end of the month-long trial, they sent their toothbrush collection to a microbiologist for bacterial testing. Astonishingly, all the toothbrushes were speckled with microscopic fecal matter, including the ones that had never seen the inside of a bathroom. The confirmed myth unfortunately proved that there's indeed fecal matter on toothbrushes — and also everywhere else.

This. Really, I have shave in the weirdest places.

They found fecal spores (bacteria, actually, not spores) on toothbrushes in the kitchen, too.

Quote Adam, "There's shit everywhere!"

Although I have never done this I don't see it as a major issue. If someone wants to use there 15 minute or lunch break to shave I can't see an reason to object Who knows the circumstances. I would find it odd if it's a daily occurrence that is blatantly abusing company time and not an alotted break. I work 12 hour shifts were I occasionally need to use a respirator or be tested for fitment. If at that time my facial growth is at a length that jeopradizes my safety I will absolutely shave.

I'm mystified as to people's opinions that it's disgusting to brush your teeth at work. It's disgusting working with someone who just came back from lunch and smells like garlic or onions. No, your gum isn't helping.

 

[PsiStar]

Shaving or brushing teeth at work I don't consider disgusting. What is disgusting is leaving the restroom a mess even after washing your hands. If there is no paper towels in your restroom, then you should be using your own as a part of your self maintenance.

I have a beard.
If I did not have a beard, I would probably grow one rather than shave.
