Unless you simply forgot it, you are missing a strop. You do need a strop. A strop is essential for maintaining your blade after shaving (most strop before the shave, but technically, that's still "after shaving"). There is a bit more background in this article.

You may also find this guide of interest (download as PDF). It was compiled from information in this forum targeted specifically at beginners.

Good luck, and do keep us posted,
