Peter1111,To shave 11 weeks after a hair transplant whether it is beard or scalp should be totally without consequence. There is less risk of a knick with the electric shaver but the traditional two edge razor is a very close and gratifying experience.Sincerely,Bernardino A. Arocha, MD

Shaving the transplanted area after 11 weeks of the procedure is absolutely ok and you can use electric clipper or blade razor without any consequence but one should do it carefully so as there should not be any Knicks and cuts over the area.
