:)Maybe s/o could help me:
I looked around and could not find exactly when one is allowed to shave tomorrow (before or after chatzos). All i found is that if Lag B'omer falls out on Sunday, then one could shave on Friday.
Anyone?

This is even according to the Sefardim (Bais Dovid 208). Lag B’omer falls out on Sunday in the following years (5771, 73, 74, 77, 84, 88, 91, 94, 95, 97, 98). Some say to take the haircut on Friday after chatzos if possible, although taking it before chatzos is also permitted (Halichos Shlomo Moadim 2: page 364: footnote 79).

Q. As Lag baomer is Sunday you can shave on Friday likvod Shabbat, can this be done in the morning?
A. When Lag Baomer occurs on Sunday you are allowed to shave and take a haircut already in the morning of Friday.
Horav M. Feinstein Zt"l (M'asef Letorah Vehoraa 2, p. 19) explains that the reason for the permit is that if you would wait until Sunday, it would appear that the honor given to Lag Baomer supersedes kvod Shabbos.
Although some Poiskim permit a haircut already on Thursday night (Rivevos Ephraim O.H. 1, 338 quoting Rav Binyomin Silver), Horav Shlomo miller's Shlit"a opinion is that it is only permitted in cases of great need.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as advised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit"a

True. I was about to correct your OP. Sefardim shave 34th in the morning so the kavod shabbos svara wouldn't apply.

The Satmar Rebbe treated Mike Tress with a great deal of Kovod.
One of his chassidim was surprised at this and asked the Rebbe how he could do this? After all Mike was clean shaven (and probably didn't go to the mikva either)!
The rebbe replied, “In the World to Come when Mike Tress gets there they will ask him, “Yid, Yid where is your beard? When you get there, they will ask beard, beard, where is your Yid?!”

shaving cream was terrible, very annoying and and took an extra 5 min. maybe because it wasn't a wet/dry shaver, and def. because i took out the lifts.
for the norelco 1250CC / 8700, shaving cream is excellent. after my 1st wet shave I don't want to shave dry again, and i suppose the same thing goes for the brauns foil because they don't need much traction

Kids are so weird.
Kids are not weird. Kids are honest. When you look at someone who just removed a natural part of his face, it's like looking at an amputee. It's shocking and unsettling.

Yes, shaving is on the same spectrum as gender reassignment surgery. It's chopping of your man-parts. Drinking cholov akum/stam, however, is not comparable to chilul shabbos.

A Chassidishe Ma'aseh just to stir the pot 8)
A few American boys once approached Reb Itche Masmid (A Chossid of the Rebbe Rayatz who came to America to collect money/distribute Chassidus), asking him if they can shave during the 9 days Lekovod Shabbos. He looked at them and said "Lekovod Shabbos?! It's Lekovod yourselves! Shabbos doesn't want you to shave!"
and now a litvishe maayseh to stir the pot the other way. The chazon ish once told a bochur that it's more Kovod Shabbos to shave Sunday!*
* consistent with the Chazon Ish's opinion that Shaving is assur.

Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai taught (Zohar, Vol. III, p. 130b): "Woe to those who extend their hands against the precious, sublime beard."
The Chafetz Chayim writes: "Removing one's beard (even with scissors) brings about destruction and blemishes [in the spiritual worlds] Above and removes the image of G-d [Tzelem Elokim] from one's face. By doing so, one uproots the channels of holiness from Above... as explained in the holy Zohar and the works of the Kabbalists.... Accordingly, any person with a sensitive heart should be in dread of this severe and bitter sin. If he transgressed, he should hurry to repent and should not pay attention to his foolish friends whose evil inclinations have overpowered their minds" (The Chofetz Chaim in his Kuntres Tiferes Adam, Introduction, sec. 1; ch. 10).

Once a Lag B'Omer celebration was being held in Jerusalem. Several yeshivah students from overseas joined the gathering. They had grown beards during the Counting of the Omer, but had removed them on Lag B'Omer. The Gaon, Rabbi Yeshaya Osher Zelig Margolis of Jerusalem, told them: "Throughout the days of the Omer, you restrained yourselves from removing your beards. Today, on the day of Rabbi Shimon's celebration, you too are joining in the rejoicing. But how are you are marking his holy day? By trampling on his words. This recalls the words of the Megilah: 'Would you assault the queen while I'm at home?!'" My words bore fruit and the students resolved never to touch their beards.
Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai taught (Zohar, Vol. III, p. 130b): "Woe to those who extend their hands against the precious, sublime beard."
The Chafetz Chayim writes: "Removing one's beard (even with scissors) brings about destruction and blemishes [in the spiritual worlds] Above and removes the image of G-d [Tzelem Elokim] from one's face.

That's one view.

The great Kabalasist, R Moshe chaim lutzatto (mesilas yesharim), famously was clean shaven in chutz learets.Someone PCMIIW, but perhaps that explains why his works don't seem to be quoted much (if at all) in chassidic works (i.e. among the myriad of sifrei kabbalah that are quoted).

Thinking of getting the peanut. Anyone have one?A lot of guys in my yeshiva used that. Supposedly very good.
I think the general consensus was the corded one was better than the cordless.

Thinking of getting the peanut. Anyone have one?The OneBlade will give you a much closer trim (if you don't plan on using a shaver after the Peanut.)
Philips Norelco OneBlade hybrid electric trimmer and shaver, FFP, QP2520/90It says shaver but it's not really. You will have a 5 hours after shave at best. You won't feel the baby smooth skin. But for bachorim in yeshiva who will have stubble the whole week anyways, it is the best thing ever.

What's wrong with shaving using a halachically permissible shaver/trimmer?Nothing, but even if you hold its mutar to shave, its a chumra nit to shave. So Reb Dan is suggesting that people take on this chumra.
It’s no different then if one holds Shabbos ends 50 min after shkia and decide to wait till 72. Nice thing to do but nothing wrong if you don’t

The day is associated with the "end" of the practical ramifications of sefira (for those that hold so). Shaving is a result.
Similar to the end of the 3 weeks, I always found it funny how in camp there was a count down to chatzos on 10 Av and then boom, the music is blasting as if at that moment everything never happened and all is jolly again.

the Tzemach Tzedek holds it is assur to cut trim or otherwise remove any hair from your faceI was referring to the Isur DeOraysa statement. I believe that's only with shaving. I don't see how trimming down a beard (and leaving short hairs) can be Lo Yilbash. But I haven't read the Teshuva in a long time.
