From what I hear, there are different ways of doing preps, depending upon the facility, and also who is doing it.
The procedure manual has instructions on what to shave with, say, a blade or an electric razor, and what parts are to be shaved.
The person assigned to a prep may have preferences, too.
For example we had a post here from a man who was shaved
without soap and water. He was shaved dry. We also had an exchange in the past among some caregivers who debated about whether or not to shave the scrotum for an abdominal prep. Some said they always do that, some never include it.

I am surprised to learn the the nurses and aides have so much decision-making authority when it comes to preps for surgery. They can decide what materials to use? They can decide if a specific part of the body will be included in the area shaved?

If Woody Allen married Natalie Wood, divorced her and married Gregory Peck, divorced him and married Ben Hur, he'd be Woody Wood Peck Hur.
