There has been some debate about this because inmates share electric shavers and many do not believe the equipment is properly sanitized, increasing the risk of infection. Yes, you can shave your face in prison.
Male inmates are frequently permitted to use a disposable razor or an electric razor to keep their faces shaved. Obviously, hair removal is not as common in men as it is in women. Beards, mustaches, and hair length are the basic grooming standards for men. Male inmates are required to have a clean, shaved face for health and sanitation reasons.
A male inmate is required to trim his mustache and beard upon arrival at the prison for the purpose of obtaining a prison identification card. If a male inmate changes his physical appearance by shaving or getting a haircut, he must have a new photo taken. The same rules apply to prison identification cards issued by prison personnel. Female inmates have a more difficult time with razors because they have more hair to remove from their bodies, such as their legs and armpits. Women should shave these areas to maintain hygiene and control body odor.
Infectious disease thrives in prisons, and many inmates have experienced skin inflammation symptoms. You are putting yourself at unnecessary risk of developing various conditions, including skin infection, by using electric razors or a razor that another inmate has used.

When the officers came into the unit in the middle of the night to strip search everyone, I had to squat and cough with armpits full of hair and a bikini line that was too bushy for my liking.
It was humiliating. To be honest, not being allowed to properly groom myself was traumatic. It made me feel less than human. As a former inmate, one of the questions I get the most is: can you shave in prison? At the prison I was in, you could purchase single-blade anti-shank razors from the commissary.
