Did those with a beard and or mustache have to shave for surgery ?

At my pre-admission they said that they would shave my chest and stomach as well as both groins and forearms.

When i said i had intended to shave everywhere before i came in they said they would prefer not to as i may cut myself.

I have shaved my head to a very short cut which will be good as they tape one of the tubes across the forehead....getting rid of the beard would be a good idea as they tape other tubes around the mouth/neck.
