My main concern is that you've been a member only for two months. You didn't state how much experience you have with knowing your face, whipping up good lather and how to strop without dulling your edge. In truth, those need to be in place before the overwhelming involvement of honing a razor to shave ready condition. A lot to be said for learning to hone bevel to 8k shave ready. Anything after that clouds the issue of is it a good bevel and sharp enough to shave as if the razor didn't exist.
