As I see it, it's not just a forest tradition interpretation. Ven Thanissaro is going by the four great standards to arrive at that understanding. But of course any temple or monastery can have very different ideas.lyndon taylor wrote:Well then that would be a Forest Tradition interpretation, not an all of Buddhism interpretation, I'm pretty sure the Cambodian temple I ordained at used electric razors followed by regular razors for the close shave.

I generally shave just before every uposatha with an old-fashion double-edge safety razor, followed by a Gillette Mach5 for a cleaner and closer shave.
