According to the opinion of the Mechaber, one may not take haircuts until the morning of the thirty-fourth day. The Rama holds that one may shave on Lag B’omer. Many apply this to the night of Lag B’omer (because tachanun is already omitted on erev Lag B’omer), while others say it means first thing in the morning. This is based on the concept that if one waits a little in the morning it is as if he waited a whole day (miktzas hayom k’kula). The custom of many seems to be that shaving or taking a haircut is permitted after neitz hachama.

Wednesday, April 24th is Pesach Sheni. HaRav Yaakov Tzvi Emden, Z’TL (“the Yaavetz”) writes in his Siddur that:
“It was revealed to me from Heaven why Pesach Sheni was established on the 14th day of Iyar. After all, it would not require more than two weeks for anyone who was impure or too far away on Pesach itself to come to Yerushalayim and bring the Pesach Sheni. So, why wait a month from the 14th of Nissan to the 14th of Iyar–the Pesach Sheni could have already been brought by Rosh Chodesh Iyar?!”
