Welcome to SRP, and the right way to shave! :tu
As already advised, read through the forums and the Wiki. There is a great wealth of information on this site. And such a friendly group too.
In particular read and heed this thread:

Lynn is one of the few of our members who has forgotten more about straight razor shaving than a good majority of our members has learned.
You are going to need the following right at the start:
1. Shave ready razor (don't be afraid to ask about this)
2. Shave cream/soap (personal choice)
3. Strop (hanging is best, paddle will work)
4. Brush (from $10 to obscene prices)
Also, you should start looking for a pasting strop (you can use the linen side of your strop with CrO or diamond paste/spray), or a barbers hone to touch up the edge when the razor begins to tug. You won't need that right at start. A copy of Lynn's CD is also great for new straight shavers because it contains a great amount of information that will be very helpful to you.
Above all, take your time. It's not a race. Enjoy the experience. Don't be afraid to ask questions... :gl:
