How soon after FUE can I shave my head with clippers?

loverug0
I'm thinking about going ahead with getting FUE but I don't want to go through the whole ugly duckling/peach fuzz phase. How soon can I shave my head all over? I've read some people say that you can do it after two weeks and some say three months! In an ideal world, I would like to shave it down to a grade 0.5 all over for the first 9 months and then start letting it grow...
