FUE coming up, what blade to shave to?

[bighair]

I have a question about shaving my head before an FUE procedure. I would like my co-workers to get used to me having a shaved head beforehand. However I only want to shave down as close as necessary.

Assuming I am taking 14 days off work after the procedure, (and thus will have 2 weeks of growth before going back to work), approximately what length will my hair be when I go back to work (and thus what blade should I have my hair cut to when in work in the weeks coming up to the procedure).

My calculations are as follows correct me if I am wrong:

Doctor will shave to approx 0.9mm
Hair will grow approx 6 mm in 2 weeks.
So lets say about 7mm length when I go back to work or somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 of an inch.

Here are the barber clipper sizes
Clipper Blades and Guards - Clipper Blades and Guards Sizes and Lengths

From that I can gauge that I would be somewhere between a blade 2 and a blade 3 in standard barber clipper lengths?

I would just go approximate. For the best healing I recommend ACell and PRP.
