Since too much information is overwhelming, let me give you some very simple advice. Don't buy any new razors. Don't worry about honing or even stopping. Change one simple thing. Get that little brush and a good quality cream or soap. If you don't want to spend much try Proraso cream or Arko shave sticks. Just the simple improvement of a good soap/cream and a brush will greatly enhance your existing shave routine. Once you convince yourself that the experience can be made more enjoyable, look into a double edge safety razor or have yourself a try at a straight razor. But a nice cream or soap (maybe a good aftershave too) might help you enjoy the process some first. And its not overwhelming either since its shaving cream. I mean we're not curing cancer at this point. That's how I started out. I never intended to have this be a full blown hobby or anything . I just tried some decent products to make the experience less miserable and before I knew it, it was great.
