A shaver without kashrut certification
Question
My father is not willing to buy me an electric shaver with kashrut certification because he insists on the leniency of
Rabbi Moshe Feinstein in his time. I told him that in our time this has changed, and that there is no one who permits it today, and that I asked on Rabbi Amram Fried’s site, etc., etc., etc., but there is no one to talk to. He does not believe in this whole concept that emerged in the last generation, that shavers need certification. What should I do? This Thursday I am going up to yeshivah gedolah.
Answer
Shalom u’vrachah.
You have no permission to use it just because your father does not want to buy a different shaver.
If he is not willing to buy you a kosher shaver, buy one for yourself.
