Halachot and Customs
What number is permitted for a haircut?
Question
Honored rabbi, I wanted to know what number or length I may use with a hair clipper on my head, without any problem of a razor or anything like that.
Answer
Shalom and blessings
On the head, even a razor is permitted, except in the area of the sidelocks and the beard, of course. For the sidelocks, one must be careful to use a number that leaves about half a centimeter, and for the beard, number 1 is sufficient.
With blessings, Binyamin Shmueli
