For the first shave do it on the weekend. Your scalp will be red and blotchy for a couple of days, but will clear up quickly as air gets to your scalp. If you shave on Friday night or Saturday morning, by Monday morning your scalp will be well on the road to being adjusted.
I would use a razor with at least two blades, preferably three. That depends on how thick your hair is though. Thinner hair is obviously easier to shave than thicker.

If I were to use a single blade, would the downside be I'd likely have to go over the same area multiple times, or is there more risk of nicks and cuts when shaving the scalp?
The reason I'm so curious about using a single blade is that the old double-edged single blades last a very long time, and are cheap, whereas the newer multi-blade razor replacements are expensive and don't last long, especially for large areas, like one's head.
I have a beard trimmer that I suspect I could use to get the hair to a very short buzz cut, and from there I could use the razor.
