# a brief google brought this up
Men do not "take a razor" to "the corners of their beards". This biblical commandment is interpreted variously by different communities. Modern orthodox shave with electric shavers rather than razors. Chassidic pietists take the precaution of not shaving at all. In between are those who trim their beards but leave the payos (earlocks) alone as "the corners".
