    Question Cream needed

    Hey guys,
    This is my first post. I am looking into getting a straight razor, as i have used my dads once a long time ago and thought it was the best shave ever.. also the barber does a great job, but he of course does it all day long.
    My real question is, how important is the shaving cream to the shave. I only ask because while I use a Mach3 razor now, I have long since abandoned anything but water. In fact I shave against the grain daily and can shave dry with no bumps if need be. Not preferable of course, but I was wondering if anyone shaved with a straight razor and no cream. I have facial hair that is hard to see beneath the cream and was looking for some advice.

    Also I want to purchase a pre-sharpened razor and strop (the bare minimum) but how long in between sharpenings will the razor go, before I need to take it back in to a professional (yes I know everyone is different, hair and whatnot, but whats a good average?)
    Thanks for your help.
    This board is a wealth of information.. and so classy.
