Question

Is it permitted to shave on the eve of Passover after midday by oneself, and what is the source? Thank you very much and happy holiday.

Answer

Hello and happy holiday

Shaving is prohibited.

The source is in the Mishnah Berurah. See sources.

Source

Mishnah Berurah, Siman 468, Se'if Katan 5
Shaving by a Jew is prohibited even for free because it is considered a complete labor.

However, in Magen Avraham, it is explained that in the case of a simple action, it is permitted.
