Question

I've read your answers to the few questions on shaving with a razor blade and have one of my own: I have a beard, but normally shave my neck and upper cheeks. You have indicated that the neck is no problem with a razor blade...but what about the upper cheeks? Can one use a razor blade to clean up the few stray hairs that grow above the straight line of the top of the beard? Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this topic.

Answered by Aaron Abadi

An area that is si high that it normally does not grow hair, is OK. There are specific areas of the cheek and jaw that are prohibitted to shave with a razor. Since we don't know exactly which spots, we refrain from using a razor on the entire beard, however there are clearly certain areas that are just not beard areas. AA
