I did not read through this entire thread. But shaving is mefurash halacha in Shulchan Aruch:
???? ???? ?? ????? ??? ???? ??? ???? ??? ??????? ???? ????? ???? ???

The Shulchan Aruch rules that it is mutar to shave one’s beard so long as you do not use a razor. The Rema agrees but holds that one should be careful not to use scissors in a razor-like manner:
??”? ?????? ????????? ??????? ????? ???? ?????? ???? ?????? ?? ??????? ??? ?????? ?? ???? ??? ?? ??? ?????? ???? ????

Rav Chaim Kanievsky is free to disagree with the Shulchan Aruch but it is difficult to fault the large numbers of frum men that follow the Shulchan Aruch on this issue.
