Well fellas, I finally got my first shave this morning, and I have to say it went fairly well. I used my Dovo Best Quality 6/8, Fitjarsoaps' "Wild Thing" shave soap, and a Tweezerman Pure Badger with a big of Nivea Aftershave Balm to smooth everything out. I shaved my whole face WTG and ATG except for my jawline, as I like to keep my rather scruffy chinstrap going, with only two minor nicks. Mind you, i had a fair bit of razor burn on my neck, but I'm going to attribute that to improper technique combined with my rather sensitive skin. All in all I'm very pleased, and can't wait to really master the whole idea; thanks to everyone who's answered my questions to this point, and in the future; I expect there'll be many more to come.
