So tomorrow I'm getting married. I was thinking Trumper's Limes, Trumper's Lime Skin Food, and C&E West Indian Limes.

BUT

I also was thinking of C&E Sandalwood and QED B&B Cologne. But I don't have any sandalwood AS or Balm!!!! Trumper's Rose or Nivea maybe?

hmmm decisions decisions

Thanks fellas! She pretty much always likes the way I smell :) Leaning toward Sandalwood and B&B at this moment.

I thought it was tradition to get a shave from someone else on your wedding day?

I hear from some that this is the tradition as well. I have a friend who got married about two years back and, due to his nervous, shaky hands, he cut himself in three or four places. And, to make matters worse, he was using an M3! Now, to no surprise, he recommends to every future groom that they let someone else shave them on the big day.

As for the wedding pictures, all I can say is thank God for photoshop :lol:

I've found unless you get a great barber you're better off shaving yourself. No one knows your face like you and I don't think anyone can give me a better shave than me. Plus you can really take your time and use whatever you want for soaps, creams, razors, blades, brush, after shave, etc. I enjoy someone else giving me a shave but not as much as me doing it myself.

Congratulations!!

If I may offer, I like the 2nd combo with Nivea.

+1, Sandalwood is excellent around this time of the year. Plus it'll give you a way out on purchasing any sandalwood product in the future since it'll remind her of of the wedding day! :wink:

Congrats! I suppose you are now happily married!

Although no longer relevant, I would go for sandalwood. I shaved myself on my wedding day with TOBS St. James. I wasn't nervous, but it was still nice to take a few minutes on a hectic day to do something relaxing and enjoyable.

Congratulations on your wedding !

Excellent thought process there!
Oh, and BTW, a long and happy life together whatever shave you chose.

Congratulations on the marriage. I'm tying the knot myself in about 3 weeks. I think I'm going with T&H 1805 all the way around.

I am getting married this August. I know I'll be using a Progress and ISP blade, the rest I haven't made up my mind about. Definitely something of a concern though.

Congrats!! I'm taking the plunge in exactly 3 months from now. I already arranged for a barber to get me shaved nice and smoothly.

congrats, may it be long and strong,

as for Il Barbiere, i would go and get a shave first to make sure the barber is good at his job and that you like the finish, it would really disappoint to find that out the day of your wedding, and FFS, dont try to shave while hung over, the alcohol in your blood and the puffiness will really reduce the quality of the shave, so, leave some time between the bachlor party and the shave,

I'm getting married this summer also. She was going to treat me to my first straight razor shave. But we're getting married in her home state I'm not familiar with so I think I better pass so no one butcher's me up by accident. I'm flying in to the wedding so I hope the airline doesn't lose my shave stuff and I'm forced to shave with mach 3 and goo on my wedding day.

Don't go for a barber shave before your wedding... there are plenty of horror stories about these before weddings/special events.

Live and learn... I posted this months ago. I am getting married on Saturday. Currently my ideal rig would be my Vision with a Gillette Super Stainless blade (not on day one, but maybe the 3rd shave on the blade), some Tabac soap, my trusty Kent BK4, and some Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue to finish things off.

Since I will be out of town, it looks like I will be using my travel rig. Currently I have a nice late year Slim Adjustable (with the lower profile head), a Gillette Super Stainless blade (with only 1 shave on it...use a couple weeks ago when I was out of town), my Vulfix Turnback in Super Badger, and a Speick shave stick. I have some Aqua Velva Ice Balm, which will work as well.

Hoping my shave is good. I am honestly more concerned about the Fusion I will be shaving with for a week while I am abroad on my honeymoon. Stupid airports.

I did, and I must say, the shave worked out better than the wife! :lol:

That said, I am still big on the institution of marriage, so I wush the absolute best to all you guys tying the knot!
