You're asking the right questions, but you're over thinking it a bit and getting stressed. Just keep it all simple as it is just shaving after all. Slow down and start with getting your razor honed. Get a poor mans strop from whipped dog, make your own, or just a cheap one from SRD to start off with. Razor, Strop, Brush, Soap...You're all set. Start small and work up to a full shave. Don't throw away those disposables or the cart head just yet .
