Kashrut of 'Paotim' Shaving Machine
Question
Does a 'Paoter' (shaving machine for aligning the 'paotim' on the cheeks) require kashrut?
Answer
Shalom Rav
Yes, a machine for aligning requires kashrut, because on the cheek, where it is customary to align with the machine, it is forbidden to cut the hair very close to the cheek, and in machines without kashrut, it is possible that the blade might touch the cheek directly.
