Married Soon
I was given a straight razor set by my cousin as a gift. I'm getting married soon and am trying to get good enough to not look like I fell on a rosebush before the wedding. Tips on this site have been helpful. Thanks everyone.

the morning of your wedding, take the wedding party to a old fashioned barber and get everybody shaves.
Welcome aboard!

Welcome to SRP! We may be able to offer more advice if we know your shave prep and gear, but a good start would be to review our wiki Straight Razor Place Wiki - Straight Razor Place Wiki

Welcome to SRP. Congrats on the upcoming wedding. The best tip I can give you is buy all of the razors you want before you say, "I do."
Read my sig line below to avoid nicks and cuts.

Not only the razors, but all the associated gear (multiple soaps/creams. aftershaves, strops, etc) too. Congrats on the nuptuals.

Maybe your cousin was trying to sabotage your face for the wedding in an attempt to humiliate you?
Definitely get your razors and gear before you two get hitched, unless you're lucky enough (like me) to have a woman who actually supports your new habit (she enjoys being my aftershave consultant, and even looks for razors for me sometimes)!
Mabrook!

I was going to ask the same question, i'm getting married in two months, so i have been experimenting. A freezing cold shave would close your pores up so you would get less irritation, also i'm not going to risk a ATG pass because i've been having difficulty getting a comfortable shave without redness when i go with an ATG pass.
