Hello.

You dirty man! :)

Of course you can take shower. This will help you. Use non agressive shampoo. Try to dry yourself with gentle towel and do not mane your skin bleeding. Just tap towel over scrabs.

And you can shave after scrubs are gone. Before you can trim. It is very fancy to heve a beard these days.

Get well.
