Welcome to SRP!
You have come to the right place. I know we have a few members in FL but I don't know who close they are to you. Look up the Members list, find someone close to you that has posted recently and send him a PM. OR, Just wait around and someone will come back to you from FL. We have a lot of good people that will be more than happy to give ya pointers and help with honing for a very low cost. Some will do it for free just to keep you learning properly for the first time.
As OCD said, It takes time to learn and do a little at a time, or jump right in and do your entire face. But I warn you, It might be uncomfortable. The saying is... at 100 shaves with a straight you are now starting to understand. At 200 shaves you will know that at 100 you didn't really know much. But don't get discouraged. It's a fun way to shave and with time you will get the best shaves you have ever gotten.

Stropping can wipe out an edge with one stroke if not done properly. That's why its recommended using a butter knife on a strop at first to learn and get the muscle memory going. Go slow and take your time in all these things. I know someone will get back to you soon.
