Thread: What is the first thing you did?

So here is the story, I pulled the trigger a few weeks ago to buy a new razor, now after many weeks (thank you customs) it has finally showed up at the local post office. My wife will be picking it up for me as I won’t be home till late tonight. So here is the question: what was the first thing you did when you got your first shaving setup?

I’ve been reading the forms like mad, buying guides, beginner guides, shaving guides, soap guides, strop guides so my theory is solid. Putting it to practice will be a completely different story and I’m afraid, I’ll get all the stuff and go $%^& what do I do now?

I’m hoping to get some good discussion out of this thread to help kill the rest of the day till I can at the very minimum hold the razor in my hand and fret about slicing my ear off.
