Question

Is it permissible for a man to use a laser to create straight lines near the neck to trim the beard, and also to use a laser to create a permanent stripe on the back of the head, in areas where women do not use laser?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

The act of removing hair with a laser should initially be prohibited due to 'not wearing'. 

However, those who are lenient have upon whom to rely, as there are also God-fearing Jewish men who have already become accustomed to this.
