Second and this one is equally (if not more) important than the first, spend a few pounds (or however much they charge in the uk) and have one of our members or a honing service get your blade ready for use! This cannot be stressed enough. You will see this phrase repeated constantly around here "Make sure the blade is shave ready before you try to shave with it!" Here are a lot of guys on here hat are really good with honing and don't charge much at all for their service. Definitely worth the investment!
Good luck and welcome to SRP!
