There is a fascinating Remah (in Orech Chaim 493:2) that tells us that when LaG BaOmer falls on Friday, the custom is to allow getting a haircut on account of Kavod Shabbos. The Ramah seems to cite the Maharil as the source for this ruling. In fact, the parenthesis indicating the source was not penned by the Ramah but rather by a later editor.
Indeed, if one looks at the Maharil, one sees no such indication in his writings that this is correct. What then is the source? It comes from the Mahariv.[...]
