Wake up early. You should do this anyway, even if you're doing a quick shave, because 88 dudes crowding about a dozen sinks and mirrors is no fun.
Shaving standards are more or less strict depending on the RDC or inspector. To be safe, your RDC will probably order everyone to freshen up their shave immediately before a major inspection. But if it's not good enough for the inspector, there's nothing to be done for it. I took a shave hit in the dress uniform inspection despite shaving like 3 times, along with 10 or so other guys.
With that in mind, don't be afraid to get an RDC up your ass. It happens, and it's actually a great learning experience.
