Electric clippers 1-2 months in after HT?

[Lohvisa]

Hey all, I just wanted to ask you what do you think about using electric clippers on the whole head (donor AND recipient areas) to buzz down your hairs down to 1-2mm so it doesn't look as bad during the ugly duckling phase?

I know all of you will say to consult with my doctor, and I will, but I am just asking for your thoughts on the subject. To me, since the grafts are absolutely anchored at this period of 4+ weeks, why would anyone advise against electric clippers at this point? Basically 80% of the hairs have shed anyway, so it's not like you can do some damage to the grafts or pull the hairs out when they shed anyway.

Thoughts?
