Yoreh De’ah 181:3-12. Shaving, Haircuts, Peyot, Beards, Electric Shavers · SHULCHAN ARUCH YOMI: Own the Halacha in 25 minutes a day!

• 0:01
  OK. Good morning.
• 0:02
  We are on. We're continuing with Gilua
• 0:06
  shaving her haircuts. OK.
• 0:09
  We are in Simoncuf PE Olive today.
• 0:13
  We're continuing with Sif Dalid. I'll just wanted to point out a
• 0:17
  couple sources real quick. I think it's quite interesting.
• 0:22
  So we learned in Gilmel that there are two shurim.
• 0:27
  Then the Ikaradin is you can cut off your PES as long as you can
• 0:31
  get it as short as you want with a scissor, just not with a razor
• 0:36
  blade. However, yeesh ousrim yeesh.
• 0:39
  Allah hushad Ibrahim. So really that's the halakhala
• 0:42
  Maisa is clearly we do not get a haircut below even Musparian
• 0:52
  Keintar. So what is that?
• 0:54
  What's the sheer? How short can it go?
• 0:57
  So I will just point out right. So we did mention the R2
• 1:01
  opinions. Someone asked about shaving the
• 1:04
  head. But the two opinion that there's
• 1:08
  three opinions mentioned in Nida Pergvav you'd Allah your base.
• 1:14
  It says mission on your base. There are stesaro to have more
• 1:20
  of a power of anagayan. It's talking about two hairs.
• 1:25
  And in general it's again it depends how you interpret the
• 1:29
  mishnah. How far do you take it?
• 1:31
  What is bikomakom? But here are the three opinions
• 1:34
  and how long it needs to be kadela kof Roshan Li ikaran.
• 1:39
  That has to be long enough that you can take each hair and fold
• 1:42
  it on itself. OK, And sats will be Ishmael or
• 1:46
  be Lazar said. It's could be Lee Krotz
• 1:48
  Batziporin has to be long enough that you can grab it with your
• 1:53
  nails. It would be a Kiev Omar
• 1:56
  Khadeishi Nitalot Bizug. And it has to be long enough
• 2:00
  that you can you hold it with your nails and then you'll be
• 2:04
  able to still cut it with a scissor anyways as long as you
• 2:08
  can. So the two extremes is as long
• 2:11
  as you can grab on to it or as long as you can it's foldable
• 2:16
  and mish the Gemara in neither Bayes says the halacha is like
• 2:24
  the most Mahmar opinion. So depending on the halacha you
• 2:28
  go by the most Mahmoud opinion. So in the Rambam when it gets to
• 2:32
  it's interesting, it's not brought down here in the but the
• 2:34
  Rambam writes and he'll close Nizirut Parikhay alaka yud
• 2:40
  aleph. So there it's talking also about
• 2:43
  Nazir Shigeliah Sarah and it's the same expression and he like
• 2:53
  you would expect he applies it to Nazir and presumably that's
• 2:57
  the same over here. And that is the, that is the
• 3:01
  generally accepted halacha that here also as well.
• 3:05
  And he writes De la coof rosha le ikara Enoloka Shenzhen ke Ain
• 3:12
  Tar. So that's the that would be the
• 3:14
  sheer. So most say it's, I believe half
• 3:17
  a centimetre, 5 millimetres, some go for six.
• 3:22
  And I did ask, just, I asked a local Barber, you can ask Yarav,
• 3:28
  see, he told me yes. So he generally uses a number 2
• 3:32
  when it comes to trimming or greater because that's like 6mm
• 3:35
  as Gershon pointed out. But he says if a person really
• 3:39
  wants, he will do a number 1 1/2 because that's 4.5.
• 3:45
  And that's again, there is no halakhala Moshe Musini of 5mm.
• 3:50
  It's enough that you could bend it over.
• 3:52
  So using normal rounding. And it doesn't make sense.
• 3:57
  So that's what he does. Let's let's read inside.
• 4:03
  OK? Galid Gam Hanikov Khayev.
• 4:08
  Even if a person's getting his hair cut right, IMCE abidavar
• 4:13
  shamateh atsma a love lakifo, you have to help him out.
• 4:19
  That means you have to sit down and tilt your head.
• 4:22
  You have to put your arm out for a tattoo.
• 4:25
  As we discussed whatever you have to do a little bit of a
• 4:28
  misa in order to make it easy for him.
• 4:32
  If you're asleep or presumably you just sit down, sit up
• 4:36
  straight and close your eyes and don't move.
• 4:40
  Presumably that's not called Messiah.
• 4:43
  It's not clear to me how close the Messiah needs to be.
• 4:47
  Maybe, maybe not how close your physical act needs to be to the
• 4:52
  person cutting. I don't have an exact shear how,
• 4:55
  but it needs to be where you're doing a mice to help him out.
• 4:58
  Exactly. There's a fine line that's not
• 5:01
  so clear to me, however, of Alisura Ika.
• 5:05
  But you know what? It doesn't really matter if
• 5:07
  you're Mr. Yeah or not. They're still in Isur.
• 5:11
  And if you look in the base Yosef and the GRA, I love the
• 5:15
  GRA. You look in Dalid, for example.
• 5:16
  This is one of those examples. He says I antosos Baba Metsia,
• 5:20
  and that's it. He says nothing else, but I wish
• 5:23
  you would have added a couple more words.
• 5:25
  Sometimes you get so much, but you just have to look up the
• 5:27
  sources. He just points out, I mean, this
• 5:29
  is in the base Yosef. There is still an Isura de
• 5:34
  Araita. Sometimes when you see ICA
• 5:36
  Isura, sometimes that's an Isura Isa, sometimes it's an Isura
• 5:40
  banana. You need to know you get to
• 5:41
  look. You can't, you can't assume.
• 5:43
  So the here happens to be it's also an Isura Isa.
• 5:47
  The only difference if Miss you're Miss Sayea or not is
• 5:51
  Malchus exactly OK about Isura. It's still a Sir to let him do
• 5:58
  it for you. So you can't go to a non Jewish
• 6:05
  Barber, sit down and sit still and let him do and ask him to do
• 6:10
  it for you. That would be still in.
• 6:14
  OK, let's go on. Hey, Hamakif ET akatan.
• 6:21
  That's where we are. Yeah.
• 6:22
  Hamakif ET akatan Hayav. If an adult does a shaves off as
• 6:28
  this, the Piotr Roche, that's where we're still at.
• 6:33
  It's haya of a mutual hockey feta goi Taisha.
• 6:38
  But there's no answer for a goi to get his head shaved and
• 6:41
  there's no answer for a woman to shave her head right.
• 6:43
  Some of us do that when they get married.
• 6:45
  So that's 100% what's there for the man to do the yesh mestapkin
• 6:52
  with the var. But it's not so clear that
• 6:56
  you're allowed to and therefore no for the goy for the katta.
• 7:05
  Wait, which case? Anisha's for sure.
• 7:07
  OK Anisha is for sure OK. I think he's referring to.
• 7:21
  Yeah. What's he going to wait?
• 7:26
  No, no, I think it's going the carton.
• 7:27
  Maybe the carton. Motorola, Nikov, Minha, Goi and
• 7:31
  a boy. The carton.
• 7:35
  Who? The shark takes it out.
• 7:40
  Everyone takes it out. OK, very good.
• 7:44
  It's called right. No one agrees.
• 7:47
  Fine, let's go on. So we left it that right the
• 7:54
  katan mutar liyo nikov minha goi.
• 7:57
  And so therefore a katan is permitted to get a haircut by a
• 8:03
  goi because the katan doesn't have to worry about it.
• 8:08
  Wait is this what everyone disagrees with or this?
• 8:10
  Can you have a katan go to a non Jewish haircut?
• 8:16
  Boy, what does he say? Right, right, right.
• 8:22
  So exactly the whole the whole line is where everyone just
• 8:25
  doesn't understand. How could you bring a cut then?
• 8:33
  Yeah, yeah, let's yeah, right. So everyone does not allow you
• 8:39
  bringing a cut then. OK, fine.
• 8:42
  A cut then cannot get a he can't go to a go and have his pair
• 8:46
  shaved off. Fine, right.
• 8:51
  Piscaychuva as well, right? Points that out.
• 8:53
  Fine. So let's go on to Vav.
• 8:56
  We'll just keep you scratch that.
• 8:58
  Ramallah, Vav isha Ena, the mitzvahs hakafa.
• 9:06
  A woman, she has not involved in the mitzvah of pedos Hirosh.
• 9:11
  She doesn't apply to her and she's allowed to.
• 9:18
  And wait, let me, we'll keep reading.
• 9:20
  We'll come back to this. The yeesh omrim shafa
• 9:23
  bishamutera la kif pehat rosha asura la kif pehat rosha ish the
• 9:28
  afilu who katan So the first opinion says that she is what
• 9:35
  she's a right. She can even cut a man's peyote
• 9:40
  Roche off now. The man can't let, can't, can't
• 9:44
  let her, and there might even be there.
• 9:48
  Kyweger points out there could even be a leaf naiver problem of
• 9:52
  the woman and there's there's no issue of payout to Roche for her
• 9:56
  to do it, but she is could be over leaf naiver, but it's for
• 10:00
  the husband. It's asser.
• 10:02
  But the Yeesh Almrim, right, So but the but the yeesh Almrim is
• 10:09
  that it's muteret, but she's not allowed to.
• 10:15
  So the first, the Stam and Aloka is like the Stam opinion that
• 10:18
  you're she's allowed to as long as there's no leaf naiver issues
• 10:22
  or that the man himself's not violating.
• 10:24
  But OK, that's fine. So that's the Ikrahalaka, the
• 10:30
  Filuhu Katan, right? So the right, so the Bachman
• 10:34
  opinion that you can't do it to a Katan, fine, That's that's
• 10:40
  fine. OK, let's go on to Zine.
• 10:44
  Avadim, khayevim bakafatarosh ka nashim.
• 10:48
  Now avadim, they convert, right? We're talking about certainly an
• 10:52
  avidivi. That's general.
• 10:53
  We never really, when we say avadim, it's keema never
• 10:56
  referring to an avidivi because they're 100% Jews and regular,
• 11:01
  just like us. They grew up with us fine.
• 11:05
  They avadim are avadi kananim who converted, and so now
• 11:09
  they're hayeven mitzvahs. Now it's true there are some
• 11:12
  similarities two women but not when it comes to pyatarosh.
• 11:16
  The halacha is equal and it applies to them right?
• 11:20
  It has to do with also the Shah. It's really it's the gemara that
• 11:24
  makes a heckish. It depends if they have as a
• 11:26
  Khan or not and has nothing to do with being a woman or not.
• 11:30
  It has to be doing with do they grow beards and all men grow
• 11:33
  beards in general. OK, let's go on khat tum tum the
• 11:41
  drogenous Suryam bhakafatarosh. So these are tum tum and an
• 11:47
  androgynous. What are they?
• 11:48
  They either have, you don't know what they have.
• 11:51
  It's all sealed right? Tum tum or androgynous is they
• 11:54
  apparently have both and you don't really know.
• 11:56
  We don't really know is it a boy or a girl right, whatever the
• 12:01
  situation is. So therefore they are Hayev
• 12:05
  because of either a Suffolk or vaade, whatever it is.
• 12:08
  But they have the Dun of a Suffolk and because of that they
• 12:13
  might be a man. And so therefore it's a Suffolk.
• 12:15
  Darisa le chomra. OK, so they're not allowed to.
• 12:21
  OK, Tete, let's go to tete SE AAR PE a Mika nagid SE AAR sha
• 12:30
  alpa dachto peros mitzko shiura peya.
• 12:36
  The the shiur is front of the peya the the edge of the hair,
• 12:41
  so it's from where the temple is, right?
• 12:43
  We said this before the adlamata Mina ozin to below the ear Maqam
• 12:49
  Shalaki attacked on Yotse Omid parej shop the call Rocha of
• 12:54
  maqamza l'otiga Bo yad. This whole area from the temple
• 13:00
  down to the top of the ear to the bottom of the ear, wherever
• 13:03
  the is, it's attached the TMJ and the entire width of that
• 13:09
  whole spread is. You can't just, you know, leave
• 13:13
  a line. I don't know the whole width.
• 13:15
  All of it is called Piotr Roche or Piotr Roche.
• 13:21
  And so we're. Not allowed to cut any hairs
• 13:29
  shorter than we'll say half a centimetre.
• 13:33
  And so that's the minimum and I don't, I didn't mention it
• 13:38
  before. I'll just mention the the famous
• 13:40
  Rambam sheer it's nice to know. I don't think it has any
• 13:44
  bearing. The halacha the Rambam writes is
• 13:47
  a masura that as long as you leave 40 hairs, that's OK.
• 13:53
  You can cut all of it. And 40 hairs is not that much
• 13:56
  because you'd be surprised how small the hairs are.
• 13:58
  But you're allowed to remove a fair amount of the Pyotr Roche.
• 14:03
  As long as you leave 40 hairs, then you're not high.
• 14:06
  That's interesting, Rama. You're allowed to even.
• 14:11
  Yeah. No, you're allowed to.
• 14:14
  Oh, and malchus versus allowed to.
• 14:18
  I'm not sure. I thought it was allowed to, but
• 14:20
  maybe it's malchus. OK, I have to see inside again.
• 14:23
  Harbor Share. Is anywhere, so the low of.
• 14:25
  The ear and even the lower draw of the memorable.
• 14:30
  Yeah, but the mandible, not the whole mandible, the TMJ portion
• 14:34
  of the mandible, which is that's the mandible's the lower jaw and
• 14:40
  it has what the condyle goes up to where me and the TMJ is
• 14:43
  really in the middle of the year I believe that's where it is.
• 14:49
  I don't think you have to go down to the bottom of your ear,
• 14:51
  the ear low. The bottom of the.
• 14:54
  Ear, well, adla Mata, you know, Ozin makom Shahlaki, I think he
• 14:58
  means the going down the ear to where the TMJ is.
• 15:06
  I do not believe he means the bottom of the ear.
• 15:11
  Definitely not the lower job. No one says the lower job.
• 15:14
  This is piata Roche we're talking about.
• 15:16
  It's only the TMJ area, exactly what you know, which part of the
• 15:21
  TMJ OK, but it's in the middle of the year is where the TMJ is
• 15:26
  and that's the port you have to go down to there.
• 15:28
  You do not have to go down to the bottom of the year.
• 15:34
  So to the bottom of the OK, could be OK, it's unclear.
• 15:50
  Well, unclear. Maybe I'll send out or someone
• 15:57
  else wants to send out a couple pictures.
• 16:00
  We'll we'll grade the charts, you know, we'll have different
• 16:03
  opinions of exactly where the year goes, where the TMJ is and
• 16:07
  how it applies. OK.
• 16:09
  Or the bottom of the mandible, the you know, that's getting you
• 16:13
  get the Ramos down there. That's way too.
• 16:16
  What, as a dentist you haven't noticed?
• 16:18
  Is there a relationship between the ear?
• 16:22
  And pain, maybe, but that's about it.
• 16:24
  I know they're close to each other.
• 16:26
  Pain radiates. Ringing can be caused from pain.
• 16:29
  OK, let's go on. Good.
• 16:33
  Ino kayev al ashkaat Peyote zakhan Ella betar.
• 16:39
  So you only have you Only of Alba misparayam mutter afilo
• 16:44
  keen tar. Now when it comes to payout
• 16:48
  Azakan with the beard those five points, you can go to the.
• 16:57
  OK yeah, OK. So it has to in order for it to
• 17:02
  be higher, it has to be Gilua Chieshba Ashkata.
• 17:05
  The gumarin says it has to be where there's an act of of
• 17:09
  cutting and there has to be where it's completely removed
• 17:14
  right down to the root to the to the to the skin or below the
• 17:16
  skin. OK, so that's when you're hive.
• 17:20
  But if you're using scissors, so here everyone knows it could be
• 17:24
  less than 5 millimetres that shear that we mentioned that's
• 17:29
  me sperankin tar here. You're allowed to do it when
• 17:33
  that was awesome, right? Depends the first two opinions
• 17:35
  in the in the shalkhanar here it's it can be really, really
• 17:42
  short as long as it's done with scissors, right.
• 17:46
  You have two scissors as close as you can get with a pair of
• 17:50
  scissors. That's going to be mutter
• 17:52
  haggah, whom you call makom Nizarin, Kisha Mustafri, the
• 17:57
  misperaim. She has a hecka fagilua, the
• 18:00
  heliot, the law, the tartan Penya say I call him play like a
• 18:07
  Taton Vavi Qatar. So I'm not exact.
• 18:10
  I don't understand that exactly. But the Rama is saying is when
• 18:14
  you use your scissors, make sure you're not using one of the
• 18:20
  scissor blades as a razor blade. Want to make sure that it's the
• 18:24
  scissors cutting against each other that are cutting the hair
• 18:28
  and that you're not having the blade of the scissor go along
• 18:32
  your face and cutting it with the scissor blade.
• 18:37
  OK, that'll be a problem. I have a Qatar me who near the
• 18:40
  Takata Garon in Lahouche Bazaar oil, the Eno E Carmacoma Piero.
• 18:45
  So we all agree that the throat, the neck, the neck is not a
• 18:51
  problem. Exactly how far you know, off
• 18:54
  the bone probably starts the neck and you know, there's
• 18:57
  different opinions. Again, where along the bone, the
• 19:00
  mandible, the jaw, so that we all stay away from with using a
• 19:05
  razor blade. But what about the neck?
• 19:07
  So it's a humra that we don't use.
• 19:10
  I believe it's the Rama brings it down.
• 19:12
  The Shokanarak does not mention this humra of using a razor
• 19:16
  blade on the neck. And I guess I don't know how far
• 19:20
  down do you take it? But anywhere.
• 19:24
  OK, so anyway, so that's there's a problem of using a razor
• 19:27
  blade. We're going to see that again in
• 19:29
  the next eve. But when using the scissors, he
• 19:32
  says, don't worry how you use your scissors when you're on
• 19:34
  your neck. Let's read you the olive
• 19:36
  continues on the back of the neck is for sure no problem.
• 19:43
  He's talking about the neck and below the the jaw, the the
• 19:47
  mandible below your your chin. That where that's where the
• 19:50
  problem. That's where this Homer of the
• 19:52
  RAM is. The scissors not considered a
• 19:55
  tie. No, I'm saying be careful that
• 19:58
  that it should not act like a tie.
• 20:00
  Right. But under the neck it's OK.
• 20:02
  Yeah, it's under the neck. You can use that not not on
• 20:05
  purpose, not on purpose. He's just saying don't worry
• 20:08
  about how you cut. You don't have to worry how you
• 20:11
  angle the your scissors. You don't have to worry
• 20:14
  yourself. You'd olive peyote has Zakan
• 20:17
  Hamish. There are 4 edges or corners or
• 20:21
  spots on the the they're only 5 and those are the only 5 that
• 20:26
  are really a problem. We just virabu Bahama diyot and
• 20:29
  as we mentioned before, there are many opinions in the
• 20:32
  rishonium and acronium what they are the fiqa Yeray shamayim,
• 20:37
  yeatsayat kulam veloya avirtaar alcohol, zakano klal and
• 20:43
  therefore Yeray shamayim should not take a blade and use it
• 20:48
  anywhere on his face, on his chin at all.
• 20:53
  Hagar Rafilu, Tahat Hagaram and the Rama again here he's he's
• 21:01
  he's Mahamar even for the neck again, how far down I don't
• 21:05
  know, but and the back. On said you'd often said, Let me
• 21:09
  be careful there. OK, now let's get to your bet.
• 21:14
  And I'm just going to mention something your bet Isha sheshala
• 21:18
  zakan muteret lashkito vadina bahashtat zakan aish kadina
• 21:23
  bakafat rosh aish. So whatever we woman, it's all
• 21:27
  permitted. And a couple details that we
• 21:29
  mentioned about a woman cutting a guy's hair or whatever it is,
• 21:33
  it applies the same for the face.
• 21:36
  OK, I just want to real quick couple points, you guys.
• 21:41
  There's all kinds of books or articles, but I'll just a couple
• 21:45
  points from Rabbi Schonberg. So he mentions and I'm sure
• 21:50
  we're all familiar electric shavers.
• 21:52
  So he says there is. He divides it into three basic
• 21:57
  categories. So in other words, is an
• 22:01
  electric shaver we consider that like a razor blade, like
• 22:05
  shaving, like a rate with a razor, though a blade or do we
• 22:08
  consider it like scissors or Yeah.
• 22:13
  So basically that's it. So the three approaches he has.
• 22:16
  So he quotes one opinion, says it's a mutter because you look
• 22:21
  at the the process at how it's being done.
• 22:26
  It's the it's the rotating blades that are cutting not
• 22:30
  against your face. Again, if your screen is broken
• 22:34
  and it's missing, I advise you not to use it.
• 22:37
  Besides, you might cut yourself and certainly don't press on it
• 22:41
  because you're not allowed to have the the razor blade go
• 22:45
  against your skin. But there's a screen over there
• 22:48
  and I don't care what shaver you're using.
• 22:50
  Generally speaking, your your blades are not touching your
• 22:54
  skin. They're going against doesn't
• 22:56
  matter, presses against the hair.
• 22:58
  Of the screen. Yeah, but the your razor blade
• 23:03
  is never right touching your skin.
• 23:04
  The hair is going through the screen and then that's why you
• 23:09
  might have to do it for a couple times to make sure the hair gets
• 23:11
  into the screen and then it cuts it against the screen.
• 23:16
  So it's a cutting motion of scissors.
• 23:19
  And they're all shavers are like that.
• 23:21
  And so therefore Rabbi Yosef Eliohanken, he quotes, I did not
• 23:25
  look at these sources inside, but he quotes him as saying it's
• 23:27
  permitted. And there's also a little bit of
• 23:30
  a separate. Well, he also say there's a
• 23:32
  separation obviously between the blade and the skin.
• 23:35
  And Rabbi TI Pesach Franck also says it's mutter fine.
• 23:40
  The other approach is you look at the outcome.
• 23:43
  Well, normally if you cut scissors with scissors on your
• 23:47
  face, you're going to have a little stubble.
• 23:48
  You're going to see something, can you grab onto it?
• 23:51
  Maybe, maybe not. OK, but you see it fine.
• 23:55
  So you look at the outcome. So however, I will cuts closer
• 24:02
  than scissors, a razor blade cuts closer than scissors and a
• 24:06
  shave electric shaver to the best of my knowledge.
• 24:10
  Do your own research. I believe it's somewhere in
• 24:12
  between. I think people who want a really
• 24:15
  clean shave can ask your local goy they'll go with the razor
• 24:18
  blade. It's not the same.
• 24:19
  That's what I believe. And so therefore, anyways, the
• 24:25
  Khazanish, the stifler of of Ron Cutler, he quotes as saying that
• 24:31
  it's it's usser because you look at the outcome and they say it's
• 24:37
  essentially the same. Again, I don't think it's the
• 24:39
  same, but the question is what, you know, what side do you fall
• 24:43
  on? It's obviously a lot closer than
• 24:46
  it's closer than than a scissors.
• 24:48
  So to them they consider you go after the outcome of the result
• 24:53
  and it's close enough. So they say it's they say it's
• 24:56
  asser And the only way it's a mutter is if you have a little
• 24:59
  bit of hair that you can that's there.
• 25:01
  But when you get a good shave with an electric shaver, you
• 25:04
  don't generally you don't see or feel it is the.
• 25:06
  Misfire getting tar means that it's not getting tar.
• 25:11
  It's just getting tar. OK.
• 25:13
  Depends how you look at it. The processor dash khata fine
• 25:16
  and then because to a naked eye a razor blade and a shaver can
• 25:22
  look the same. I mean it's to my naked eye.
• 25:24
  If you get a good electric shaver it could look the same.
• 25:27
  Obviously to an expert, might not you?
• 25:29
  Can cut right now. Thank you. 5 days, OK.
• 25:34
  Let me just get a couple points and we'll finish the quotes.
• 25:38
  The implement, he calls it implementation.
• 25:42
  In other words, what's the raiser of the day?
• 25:45
  So Ruben Feinstein explains his father's suck of Moshe Feinstein
• 25:51
  in he had 10 in one in 5769 gillion 10I and sham.
• 25:56
  I did not look it up and he says it depends.
• 25:59
  He says most non Jews are not going to use.
• 26:03
  So most non Jews are going to use a razor when they want a
• 26:07
  close shave. He asked Gananju what's
• 26:10
  considered. So it doesn't matter what the
• 26:13
  process or the outcome is. You go by what a guy calls a
• 26:16
  razor and therefore or he there. So therefore most non Jews who
• 26:23
  want to crochet, they're going to use razors and therefore it's
• 26:26
  permitted. But he says it's only permitted
• 26:28
  with two caveats. Again, it's a little bit of a
• 26:32
  contradiction maybe sort of it depends on how you interpret it.
• 26:36
  But he says it needs to be that the hair can't, the blade itself
• 26:42
  can't cut on its own. And how easily, I don't know.
• 26:46
  You can look it up. I don't know, just point it out
• 26:48
  there. And so therefore the blade needs
• 26:51
  to be a little bit dull. Obviously if you pull hard
• 26:55
  enough, everything cuts. But the point is it has to be
• 26:59
  more dull than a regular, than a regular blade and can't come in
• 27:06
  contact with the skin. Well, that's obvious.
• 27:07
  Everyone says that he points out that lift and cut Norelco is not
• 27:13
  an issue. It's a it's a joke when it comes
• 27:15
  to halacha. It makes no difference this this
• 27:19
  article. I mean, I think he's right
• 27:21
  whatever. But and the star K says it
• 27:25
  should all be. I think he writes the star K
• 27:27
  even addresses Norelco and says they should be treated like like
• 27:32
  other blades. But then he says that they need
• 27:35
  to be dulled though a little bit.
• 27:36
  Whatever. Yeah, they're electric shavers.
• 27:40
  But then he says it needs to be dulled a little bit.
• 27:41
  So I don't know with Star K Paskins, but he just points out
• 27:46
  there's also a couple different heck sharing that you can get
• 27:49
  out there and you have to pay attention.
• 27:51
  Each heck share is different. There's one heck share.
• 27:53
  I don't have to give the names, but one heck share might go
• 27:56
  after the smooth or the one criteria versus the other, the
• 28:02
  result versus the process. So not every heck share is the
• 28:05
  same. Just one last thing.
• 28:10
  I'm sure we all heard the the the Maru and Shara mitzvah,
• 28:14
  quotes the Arizal who says Senorota Shafa of Kedusha.
• 28:18
  They come through our our beards.
• 28:21
  So therefore he says it's very strongly advised never to cut it
• 28:27
  off completely. So maybe electric shavers is not
• 28:31
  recommended. It's probably very much not
• 28:33
  recommended according to the Arizo.
• 28:36
  Not because of halacha, just an inion.
• 28:38
  And the Rizal was a machar for himself not to trim his beard at
• 28:43
  all, anywhere on his face, even with a scissor.
• 28:46
  But that's again, the Rizal is not alacha, it's just OK.
