Grooming during shivah

Hi,

A mourner may not bathe, annoint himself with pleasant (as opposed to medicinal) oil, wear leather shoes, copulate, learn Torah, greet others in the normal manner, or launder clothing all through the week of shivah.

(Code of Jewish Law Yoreh Deah 380:1)

Have a good day,
Mordechai
