Aaron/Jason,
Thank you for sharing your experience and advice. It's a relief to know that I have many more months of scar healing before I can really grasp the visibility factor.
My hair is thick and dark brown, so I suppose this helps some? I also read about shock loss in the donor area, however, it is very difficult to determine if that is the case.
If I shave down to #3 right now, I must use concealer. But with concealer, the scar is undetectable. I hope that one day I'll be able to simply shave with a #3 without any concealer at all.
If I happen to be fortunate enough to be able to shave to #2, I will consider myself lucky.
Any more stories/experience with the donor scar, redness, and shave guard settings are welcome.
Thanks,
Ron
