    You've come to the right place to start your life-long shaving bliss Zack!

    First thing - stay away from the multi-bladed razors, and the canned shaving goo, and always make sure to moisturise your skin properly after shaving.

    Use a good cream/lotion after shaving. (If you're on a budget, even a little aqueous cream will be better than nothing) As a matter of interest, you can even use aqueous cream as a shaving prep to your skin, then rinse it off before you shave with a good shaving cream / shaving soap lathered up with a brush.

    I've posted a video here, but have a look at the other videos about lathering and shaving on youtube that "Mantic59" has posted. You will learn a lot from them, they are great to use as a learning tool.

    Spend some time and watch this video, it will be worth a lot for you - YouTube - ‪How To Build And Apply Traditional Shaving Lather‬‏


    It will probably be more rewarding for you to start with a DE, and then progress to straight razors if it interests you.

    Whatever you decide, have fun!
