Thanked: 146Adam,
I would use all the equipment that you have the most confidence in. You will have enough things on your mind on that most important day! (You know of course that after that day your intended will forever after be referred to as SWMBO...lol)
Regards,
Joe

Well, the bridal strop seems a pretty obvious starting point. One hopes that your marriage is a proverbial bed of roses, so I suppose the Vulfix Rose cream seems like the way to go there. I suspect your 6/8 TI extra-hollow is a 'singing' razor; no need to labor the point there. Besides, a French razor is bound to be more romantic than a Masonic or Battleship wedge. Let's go with the Theirs-Issard. After shave...hmmm...what does SHE like? That may be the key here...and in the days to come.
Best wishes for a happy and fulfilling life together my straight-edge brother.

Thanked: 1195Williams on your wedding day??? Sorry my friend, but no!
I'm biased because I used my Dovo Bismarck for my wedding day shave, and it was one of the closest shaves of my life. But I agree with a previous poster, use what you are most comfortable with, as I'm sure you don't want cuts and razor bumps in your wedding photos.
Congrats on your nuptials and good luck!

Thanked: 94Thanks to all for the kind words!
Basically the only scent off the table is Pinaud she hate it!
So frenchy TI, W&B, or Bismark...I will hit the hones for a little touch up with those three since they seem to be the only ones in contention! Lol
Can't believe no one said the Schulze.
