Question

Hello, is it permissible for a man to remove hair with wax?

Answer

Hello,

Removing hair from the temples [above the sideburns] is prohibited, but it is permitted on the beard if many righteous men do so, as there is no violation of 'not wearing'.

See Responsa Chaim Shaal, Siman 52 in Responsa Noda Bi-Yehuda, Yoreh De'ah, Siman 81, where it is written that it is permissible to shave with cream, and the same applies to wax.
