Wow thanks a ton for all the reply's. Nope don't shave my legs unless its necessary for the show im doing and that has only happened twice, and yeah it sounds about right i figured it would probably be easier if anything to shave the torso since i have pretty long muscles as a dancer i dont work at building up the rectus abdombinas (no six pack). lol well this makes me excited to try and i feel pretty confident with the idea being a knife enthusiest for most my life and hopefully it will mean the next time a choreographer wants me to get waxed so theirs no stubble at all i (NOT FUN) i can just give myself i real close shave and they will never know. Oh and i ordered my razor pre honed by lynn and was wondering what is the approximate amount of time its going to be untill i need to invest in a stone? i did get a strop but being a little short of money at the moment have withheld on the stone for now.

Strope i got: Heirloom Latigo "Apprentice" Strop
Razor i got: Dovo Ebony Spike Point, 5/8" Carbon Steel Straight Razor

Figured if im going to spend on a razor and most i ever want to have is two to alternate between i might as well get one that i really like the look of.
