Potato: “what do you think of your landsmen that are not suffering from a shaas hadachak but not keeping cholov yisroel? And the ones who are benei Torah learning in kollel that are married and not worried about Parnasa that they go clean shaven?”
(Disclaimer: I keep cholov Yisroel, and I have never shaven my beard BH.)
I believe there are heteirim for eating what R Moshe Feinstein referred to as ‘cholov hacompanies’ even if it’s not a shaas hadchak. And I know that there are major poskim who say it is muttar lechatchilah to shave even without any concern of parnassa.
Just because you’re rabbonim may disagree with those opinions, those who act in accordance with those opinions have no need to justify their actions to fit in with your rabbonim.
