The mans way out would be to tell her he dosn't love her, Not try and get his jugular slit by a barber

Whats your budget for buying a razor? And are you after just after razor or do you want a badge hair brush with it too? Plus will it be used a lot?

ops my bad

Edit:

Still buy him a cut throat razor set, makes for a classy wedding present!!

Any decent barber will do it.

Get it done about 3 weeks before, then done again a fornight before, then a week before, then the morning of the wedding.

The first time you get it done you're almost guaranteed to get nasty razor rash - not what you want on your wedding day. After the 2nd or 3rd time your skin will be used to it though....

I think most barbers would do it but, failing that there is about 5 of them on Gorgie road where he could get it done.

As already said any decent barber should be fine, just try not to choose one who is drunk, or has forgotten their contact lenses

What difference does having a "cut throat shave" give you? As apposed to shaving normally?

They use a single "Cut throat" razor blade which is insanely sharp and requires a bit of skill to use rather than just the normal "ding dang do" method we're used to with disposables etc.

Much closer shave and less irritation so I've heard. I've never actually experienced it so I'm not sure.

a closer shave, had it done loads of times, though I can't say I've ever had a rash

a lot closer. Actually it surprises me they're still legal really, i'm sure diseases etc. could be passed on quite easily via a razor blade.

So it takes off a few layers of skin as well to achieve this?

They're stored in Barbicide, which scares away all of the bad humours.

As already said you get a closer shave and well looked after. Area is well heated before applying foam, cream applied afterwards, etc.

Never had one myself but would very much like to if I can find the right place.
