# | # There is a minhag not to shave during Sefirat Haomer. <ref> Tur 493 </ref> Some authorities permitted someone who shaves daily after having waited 3 or 5 days of not shaving to shave during the Sefira. <ref> Rabbi Herschel Schachter quoting rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik in Nefesh Harav page 191 says that since all customs have to be based on something, it would have to be that the mourning of sefirat haomer is parallel to the mourning during the year of having lost a parent. Therefore since the halacha says that it is permissible to shave during the year once somebody bothers you about the length of your hair, it would be permissible during the omer also.

# It's proper to keep the minhag of not shaving until the 34th day in the morning, however, someone who is bothered greatly by not shaving some say that he may shave on Rosh Chodesh Iyar and some say on Friday. <ref> Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 431) </ref> | |||
