Men, women, and children are reminded that if they've been shaving this week for work, they are supposed to shave for shabos as well.
Says Aaron Lichtenstein, the Harvard alum who serves as Rosh Yeshiva of
Yeshivat Har Etzion, "kevod Shabbat takes precedence over mourning customs of the Omer (based on Ta'anit 26b), [therefore] it is not only permissible, but obligatory to shave before Shabbat."
