Shauli, speak clearly
The Torah clearly prohibits shaving WITH A RAZOR!!!!!!
anyone who is shaving with a razor is not involved in this conversation nor is the book for them.
So let’s not fudge things to prove a point.
There is no clear issur to have a hair free face
The question is is there a rabbinical issur
Or perhaps even a drasha that would make it min haTorah
Or is it only an Inyan , perhaps Al pi KaabaLA,
Or is it , gasp! Actually permitted.
But to say the Torah clearly dosages it is at best ignorant and at worst a new religion
