Andrew, forget the preshave oil. There are many other, cheaper methods. Some people use a little olive oil as a pre and post shave.. Some use a dab of Cremo or Kiss My Face as a preshave. Just wet your face and rub it in and then apply your lather. You need to got to the SRP wiki's and read all you can about shaving different parts of the face. A lot of questions will be answered there. Like different types of shaving strokes for different parts of the face and neck. Unless you are adventurous I'd stick with a round tip for a second razor. Spike points, unless you stay almost hyper aware of where that point is on your fave, will bite you without mercy - I speak from experience. Just in case though, get a styptic pencil for the little nicks and weepers. A number of shavers would suggest that with coarser hair a razor with a wedge grind is best. They seem to mow it down better than the hollow grinds.
