Welcome, i would seriously consider cudarunner's offer. He is a good bloke. Otherwise our classifieds are a good start. And as has been said you WILL need a strop.
until you get a strop and razor you can use your shavette (bladeless) and a belt to practice the correct stropping motion and get a feel for pressure.

Hi and welcome. Any questions feel free to ask
Hellloooo and welcome to SRP you landed in an amazingly helpful forum have fun and enjoy the experiance
Welcome youngster! I'm an old guy :)
I'm with Leatherstockings on the Ralf Aust from SRD. It was my first and is still one of my favorites.
If your serious , take up Roys( Cudarunner) offer he'll help anyway he can to get you the help you need , a fine fellow if there ever was one, and then learn how to shave and strop correctly. A proper edge put on by someone who knows how will give a better chance at a smooth nick free shave. Tc
Welcome to SRP!
I'm a member of other forums connected to my interests. Those forums are full of friendly, helpful people. I was hoping that would be the same for this forum - and my expectations were exceeded! I am so grateful for all of the help and advice that has been offered. I will be buying a straight razor from cudarunner and probably will buy the Illinois strop that many have recommended.
I'm taking a break from the shavette for now to let everything heal. I should be ready to try again when the razor and strop arrive.
Thanks again to everybody!
