Shaving in the 9 days
This has got to be the perfect place where proffesionals can share different psakim on shaving during the 3 weeks / 9 days.
Where can i find reliable information with regard to the 9 days in particular? The 3 weeks is less of a halachic problem and for me hasn't been a problem this year at all. However the 9 days is proving much more difficult with an important meeting pending.......

there are a few dont dos starting with this Fri night that lasts until mid day 8/11.
Except for Saturday (also Fri night) no eating of meat ( or chicken) there some ways it may be done but not by an individual on their own
no listening to music although many adhere that this started 2 Sundays ago
no haircuts , no shaving (there are some Rabbis that will allow it under certain very limited circumstances) many stopped it also 2 Sundays ago.
Basically there is a 3 week morning period this yr from 7/20-8/11 it becomes more strigent on 8/2 and ends on the 24 hr (really 25 hr) Fast Day of Tish B-Av 9th of AV which is sort of like Yom Kippur as its a 24 hr fast, no shoes to be worn, no food/drink intake, however those proabitions that apply to a Yom Tov or Shabbos are permitted, thusly driving a car or using electricity is permissable.
The 9th of AV is the day that Both of the Temples were destroyed, a day of Mourning
