Hi. I originally started with safety razors about a month ago, and have been shaving with a straight for a week. I'm using my DEs during the week and the straights for my weekend shave. The straight that I'm learning with is a black Dovo "Best Quality", 5/8" Carbon Steel Straight Razor. I also have the Vintage Blades Red Latigo 3" Hanging Razor Strop, Norton Waterstone 4000/8000 for honing, and Conk soap puck. I'm not coordinated to use 2 hands, so I'm getting better at finding my routine. The funny thing is I can handle my upper lip, but my neck where I seem to be missing some spots. I'm getting there though.

Plus, I was hoping for some feedback because I'm still sifting through the Wiki to better identify brands. I apologize for cross posting because I don't know how many people here post on B&B, and vice versa. Here's what I found on my trip:
