Default next Thursday I have to work a 13 hour day

I'm so scared that my chin hair will grow and I'll have a lot of stuble by the end of the night. There's no way I can shave at work. Someone could see me. I really hope it isn't too noticable that day. This is terrible.

Do people follow you into the rest room at work? Battery operated electric razor in the stall with a mirror?

They don't follow me into the rest room but there are people in and out of there all the time. It's just that I couldn't shave in front of the mirror. I guess I could always take a razor and shave in the privacy of the bathroom stall. I never really thought of doing that.

That's what I would do. Take a small makeup bag to the ladies room with you (or your purse...whatever works) and use a mirror from your blush or something like that. You can either use a plan disposable razor with some cream or something to lubricate your skin or possibly one of the small electric razors that are the size of a pen...do you know what I'm talking about? They are often used for trimming and sculpting eyebrows.

Yep, I would do the stall thing. Probably not the electric route, as people could hear the buzzing, and um, you were, um... yeah! LMAO!

Bring a small compact, you can use regular hand lotion (I do it all the time!)

Good luck, and no stress!

The stall is the best idea I think. Bring a regular throw-away razor, and some lotion - and a bottle of water. Reapply your makeup, and your good as new.

Do you go out for lunch? You could always do it on your lunch break if you take a lunch later in the day..

My recommendation would be to wax instead of shave. If you could get a wax done (or do it yourself) either on Wed or Tues, you should be fine! I wax because it allows me to go several days (usually 5-7) w/o having to do it again, and when they do grow back its not as stubbley appearing.

GOOD LUCK!

I keep a razor - disposable one - at work, just in case. It started when I was having my laser treatments, and had to shave, and some days, it seemed I needed to go over it again, or found a spot that I'd missed, or something. The razor still lives there, in a makeup bag, in my desk.

Our bathroom is a onesie, so I have all the privacy I need, but, in your situation, I would use the disposable razor in a stall. Wouldn't do electric, lest anyone think you are having too much fun at work!

Thanks everyone for the input. I'll try to tweeze before Thursday. If the hair isn't long enough by wed. I'll have to take the razor to work on thurs.
