Fuzzy,
What levels are being done? You can guestimate the area needed to be shaven by the corresponding disc level (especially if you have MRI's as a reference). For instance, my C5-6 disc is directly behind my adams apple. I just had C6-7 and C7-t1 done. The needle entry for c7-t1 was about a half inch above my collar bone and c6-7 was about a half inch above that. I would think that if you could pull your beard up, tie it back, and shave it uderneath it would not be as noticeable.
