I've heard similar statements here in Idaho from different barbers. One guy said "not allowed since 6 yrs ago" (or something like that), another guy said it was strongly discouraged, another said it is still OK, but the barber board has been rumbling for a couple yrs to ban it. Another guy (the couple haircuts I got from him) shaved my neck in the back with a shavette. So, who knows???

I could buy the "...say it's illegal cause they don't want the hassle, or they don't have the skill to do it. I don't think Idaho requires straight blade shaving to get a barber certificate anymore.
