You’re* almost had it bcg1

BCG 1, I see you're the type who only dresses from the waist up. I personally recommend wearing pants in case you have to stretch.

But in all seriousness, I'm assuming OP is male, in which case yes shave, no reason to look unprofessional. You represent your firm. If you aren't male, see comment above.
