Is shaving with a machine on the zero setting considered shaving or shortening?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is shaving with a machine on the zero setting considered shaving or shortening?

Answer:
It is shortening, but it is excessive shortening. Otherwise, shaving is done with a razor; shaving is done with a razor, not with a machine. A machine is for shortening, but shortening varies: there is excessive shortening, moderate shortening, and light shortening. Yes.
