Question
He is getting engaged and wants to shave during the Three Weeks. It should be noted that he is Sephardic, but as a student of an Ashkenazi yeshiva, he has traditionally refrained from shaving during the Three Weeks.
Answer
If he followed this practice due to the prohibition of "do not make cuts," then it is not considered a vow. If it was a good custom, then a release is needed, but in any case, he can do it once.
