Title: No Problem for a Shliach Tzibur!
Author: Chaim Simons Date: Sep 5 2011

Reply

A person who is a regular shaliach tzibur or is one on Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur or Fast Days does not have to worry whether or not an electric shaver is permitted – according to the halachah he has to have a beard! (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 53:6 and Mishnah Berurah 53:23-24)
