Ironside has to dream up ways to distract Mark from returning to a life of crime. If he doesn't get him to shave at that precise moment, he might mug Eve for her purse. And she desperately needs that for a ticket purchase to Milan. Also, he is black so it doesn't matter if he gets shavings on himself. Please don't mention Ironside's hair is grey as I am a pathological Sixties racist and get upset easily.
Ironside's latest ploy is to take laxatives and force Mark to panic over his colostomy bag. When I say "his", I'm refering to the chief. Mark only carries a stocking and cosh. He's just sent him out because the bag has split under the pressure and needs a refill of colost.
