Have been pouring over the videos, FAQ, beginner's area, and re-reading. My eyes hurt from watching the videos. A ton of great info and this is my first post!

So my sister got me a Silvertip Badger Brush, Dovo Strop, Strop paste (white bottle with a yellow strip at the top with no name). So the razor came sealed with the sticker not broken. I ordered a set of stones 4k, 6k, and 12k. However the 12k went out of stock and can no longer be sourced.

Are the 4k, 6k, and a strop enough to get me going with a new blade or should I just start with the strop leather side for 40-50 strokes (once each way counts as one stroke with the spine down leading the stroke...)?

Any tips to help get me started would rock!

I have been practicing on a Parker Shavette on & off over the past year so I have been building my shaving skill very slowly!

Thanks in advance!
