Might I suggest this link to help prepare you for your first straight shave -

Some of it may be teaching you to suck eggs, however, some will give you a BFO (Blinding Flash of the Obvious)
I would say to you that, to reduce the number of variables, you concentrate on shaving and stropping for the next few months and get into honing sometime down the track.
Good luck.
We look forward to hearing about your progress.
Don't forget we are all here if you need some advice or have questions

BTW, if you find another box of Filly's and Henkel's, I'll take them off your hands for $40.00....hehehehe
It is the policy of this forum not to discuss razor evaluations here. Oh heck, I'll double that forty bucks!
