Kurolap, you've gotten a lot of advice from a number of the SRP members. The one bit of advice I didn't see listed (if I'm reading right) is edit you info to show where you are at and post a request for a meeting with any mentor in the area or comfortable driving distance. No matter what you read here, as good as it is, nothing and I repeat, nothing can take the place of a one-on-one meeting with a mentor who is more than willing to answer ALL of your questions and get you on a steady path of successful straight razor shaving. I live 50 minutes from my mentor and between PMs and a every other month face to face with him I have avoided many of the pitfalls of a new str8 user. Do it, you won't regret it.
