9 Days siyum!

[MarkS]

the tapatalk sig is worse than not eating meat for 9 or even 5 days! 

Sorry, sorry! I got a new phone and in the process of setting it all up - changing the setting on tapatalk slipped my mind. I changed it when I realized (right after that post). Truth is though, with your original annoying usernames, I don't know if you are one to talk

See Koshershaver.org for a detailed overview of the different views on shaving and the use of electric shavers.

I skimmed but I didn't see once where he quotes either Rav Eliyashiv or Rav Schach who I've seen letters from both of them against shaving with anything... See a sefer called Hadras Panim Zakan where both above mentioned poskim/gedolim who lived after Reb Moshe give letters of approbation fr the sefer and banning any type of shaving. Not interested in a debate here and I haven't learned that much on the subject just read here and there, but if your interested look it up

Correct, it doesn't mention Rav Elyashiv or Rav Shach. I referenced the article to mention Rav Moshe Feinstein's shitta although the Gedolei Eretz Yisroel were opposed to it.

Based on this thesis, Rav Moshe permitted the use of shavers since they function as scissors, utilizing two blades to cut. The inner blade does not cut by itself, and must be assisted by the outer screen of the shaver. The screen traps a hair within it, and as the inner blade approaches it, the hair rubs along the side of the screen and they both cut the hair simultaneously.28

Although this was Rav Moshe’s primary heter to permit the use of shavers, he had an additional approach that followed a similar line of reasoning. He maintained that the only type of instrument that is prohibited, is one that most people use when they wish to achieve a close shave; all other instruments are permitted. Since most non-Jews use razors when they desire a close shave, all other instruments are therefore permitted. However, if for arguments sake, the general custom would change and people would only use shavers even if they desired a very close cut, razors would be permitted and shavers would be forbidden.29

The Conclusion on Using Ordinary Electric Shavers

In conclusion, the Chazon Ish, the Steipler Gaon, and many other poskim prohibited the use of all electric shavers. Rav Yosef Eliyahu Henkin, Rav Moshe Feinstein, and other poskim permitted the use of ordinary electric shavers albeit for two different reasons.30

I can't believe people make a big deal about 5 days of not meat.
I love meat as much as the next guy, but it's just not a big deal, there are just so many awesome milchig dishes, no reason to feel deprived.

I personally don't eat any fish or milk products other than pizza sometimes, so I find the 9 days extremely hard. But I guess that's what the 9 days are all about. I'm lucky if i get one siyum.
And no, Shavuos is not my favorite yom tov!
