Shaving

What's the verdict on shaving? I remember a philosophy professor I had at university who used the following verse to bolster his "validity" of atheism and condemn the males in class as guilty of breaking the Jewish Law:
You shall not shave around the sides of your heads, neither shall you disfigure the corners of your beard. (Leviticus 19:27, MKJV)
Being of Irish/Jewish ethnicity on my mom's side, and French ethnicity on my dad's, the result is a rather scraggly, patchy mess. I usually remain clean shaven.
Not worried or anxious about it, since externals aren't the issue, but was hoping to set the record straight on this mundane matter.
