leftbrooklyn: When the first day of Rosh Chodesh Iyar falls on Friday, even those who hold the first half of sefirah take a haircut and shave.Since that Shabbos is both Shabbos and Rosh Chodesh, one may take a haircut and shave due to “Tosefes Simcha”. Please see Mishna Berurah Sif Taf Tzadi Gimmel Sif Koton Hay. This reasoning does not apply for this Erev Shabbos.
