I've been working through the issues one thing at a time. First was to get comfortable enough to shave without throat-cutting paranoia (check). Second was how get a decent lather (check). Third was some guidance on trouble spots (check). Then came honing. I won't call that 'check', but the guys here helped me diagnose a bent spine. Me and my 140 gr Atoma stone got that worked out. Last night I got a hone that I won't call "check", but I will call it 'good enough for government work'. That will come over time. I haven't asked about 'how not to knick my strop' as the Wiki covers that and it's practice. So now I'm down on my list to this question.
