Reply To: how do Israelis shave?

I don’t understand your point. What is the difference between it being a Halachic issue Muttar (which many prominent Poskim hold) or a Kaballah/Minhag issue and Muttar? If you hold it’s Muttar that’s fine. The real difference comes if you hold it’s Assur because then there could be Nafka Minos depending on the source.
