Shaving during the Counting of the Omer to Go on a Date
Question
Am I allowed to shave on the upcoming Thursday night for the purpose of going on a date (and I do not follow the will of Rabbi Yehuda HaChasid) or all that was permitted is shaving specifically on Friday close to Shabbat or for the sake of Shabbat only? And if it permitted, can I shave both on Thursday night and also before Shabbat (it grows quickly for me...) Thank you very much!!!
Answer
Greetings,
It is permissible to shave on Friday in honor of Shabbat, and also on Thursday night in honor of Shabbat.
However, to shave once for the sake of Friday and another time in honor of Shabbat, is forbidden.
