Hi. If my experience is anything to go by, they (the nursing team prepping you) will ‘shave’ you from the neck downwards. They do not use razors as these can abrade the skin, they use clippers. My advice would be to leave your dignity and embarrassment at the hospital door and let them do it. At least that way it is done to their requirements.

Good luck

Steve

In my case the nurse gave me clippers with a brand new set of blades and told me where to clip. Then I had to show the nurse to check. As I was CABG there was lots to remove!

Watch out for the itchy chest as the hair grows back though.
