okay, i am slowly getting on my feet, and recovering from a $70 dollar "great deal". i have every thing i need but the razor. How ever what else do i need, i hear for a straight razor you need a good lather or you will get a crud shave. is this true? and if so what kind of cream, what other things do i know,and also are there any beginner strokes for shaving, i know i will cut myself a few times, but i would like to be shave
