Bigtom,
From whom did you buy the Bismarks? We did not mention it, but for sure you need to purchase shave ready razors for you first ones. That was great thinking on the rotation.
You did not say if you have a strop - but that should be your next purchase. I would leave one of the Bismarks in untouched condition so you can use it as a reference when you strop. When you can duplicate the sharpness of the second Bismark, then move on to it.
New shavers (including myself when I was new) can easily ruin the edge of a shave ready razor by poor stropping technique - another reason for stashing the second razor for a bit.
Also - try and get a 3" wide strop - it is easier to learn on because you don't have to learn the x pattern as well as the proper pressure and flip sequence.
Good going - you are really going to love the Bismarks.

PS - I don't have a Revisor - but my aquisition disorder is never satisfied.
