Is a male allowed to shave off unwanted back hair?
Answer:
It is permitted to shave off back hair.
Sources: Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh De’ah 182:2. According to Tzemach Tzedek (93), it would by permitted to shave off back hair for the sake of beautifyins onself. However, this opinion is disputed by the majority of poskim. If back hair is disturbing, even Tzemach Tzedek would agree that it is permitted.
CONCERNING SHAVING THE BEARD WITH AN ELECTRIC MACHINE OR RAZOR. IF ITS ELECTRIC RAZOR, SOME OF THEM CAN SHAVE YOU AND BE CLEAN OF HAIR FOR MORE THEN 48H, IF USING A NORMAL RAZOR, EVEN THE BEST CAN’T MAKE YOUR FACE CLEAN FOR MORE THEN 48H.AND HOW IN THE MEIR YESHIVA PICTURES IN 1945, SOME RABONIM HAD NO BEARD?
HOW THEY USE TO SHAVE? CAN A BARBER GOY DO IT..
THANK YOU
One may not shave by means of a non-Jewish barber. However, some authorities permit the use of (certain) electric shavers.
