In S4E9, at 9’55”, Sisko is using it on various parts of his face. It almost looks like a shaver of some sort.

    That is for shaving his head. Geordi uses one in an episode of the next generation.

      I don’t think that’s Geordi. Geordi has hair. I think it’s Sisko.

      But yes, it’s a shaving thingy. (also known as a block of acrylic, lol.) Geordi also uses one, and Data asks why he doesn’t use the one he tuned to be “perfect”… and Geordi has to explain that too close a shave is uncomfortable.

          You’re looking at the back of the head; the shaver is above their ear.

          Geordi has hair. Whoever this is… doesn’t have hair.

          I’m familiar with the scene where geordi is shaving (his chin IIRC,) and data asks why he’s not using the razor he tuned up for him for the optimal close shave, and La Forge replies (basically) that perfectly tuned things aren’t always the best. (in this case because a close shave is… uncomfortable.)

          edit: that scene is eluding, me, probably because it’s in code of honor… but, the memory alpha page on Shaving has this same photo tagged as sisko.

            Okay, what I meant was, Geordi did use one.

            But yeah, this is clearly Sisko but I don’t recall him shaving his head in any scenes.

        Did you know the name Geordie is the mandala effect? Rewatch it, his name is Blake.
