Some of the advice that I found particularly helpful, may not be new to many here but perhaps someone else new might be reading:

Shave test along the way to feel the difference between each stone (not your whole face after the 1k, but an inch on your cheek for example) to understand your progress

The bevel is everything, if you don't set the bevel you're essentially polishing a turd

Have a shave with your DE every so often to compare with your edge. Are you getting as close of a shave with your straight?

Again, I'm sure I'm not enlightening the majority, but these are the things I am finding useful early on that might be of use to others early in the quest
