    Default Please help a noob pick out everything he needs

    So I just decided to learn how to shave with a straight edge razor. So far this is everything that I've picked out.

    Hone-http://www.classicshaving.com/catalog/item/522944/196094.htm

    I would like to learn to sharpen my own razor. Part of switching from cheap crappy razors to a straight edge razor is to save money in the long run.

    So my questions is how does this stuff look and what else do I need?

    Is the strop oil I picked out good for the strop I picked? Do I need to put oil on my razor after using it? Or do I just dry it off and store it somewhere that isn't humid? I've also never bought real shaving cream, anything I need to know about that? Otherwise I'll just pick out some cheap stuff I guess.

    And also I was thinking of just finding a cheap razor to use, instead of the one posted, to learn to hone and strop with (so if I mess it up it wont really matter, and then using the more expensive one to use as a comparison). Does anyone have a suggestion, a specific suggestion with link included if possible, for a cheap razor to get?
