Can an open blade razor be used to remove hair on areas other than the face and peyot? For example, a barber using an open blade on the back of the neck? Additionally a razor to remove pubic hairs?

1@NoachMiFrankfurt not all opinions agree that shaving pubic hair is a violation of beged isha, especially nowadays in most western societies– ezraCommented Jan 4, 2022 at 11:34
