    Shaving set just came in today. A little nervous about starting. From all the advice out there, it seems like a good idea to build up to a full blown straight razor shave. I plan on starting with the soap with my disposabile, working to shaving just a little bit, slowing getting to the whole face. Fun times!

    I got a Dovo Best Quality Black 6/8", 2" strop, and a Simpson Beaufort B4 Pure Badger brush. I've read through the beginners guides out there. Are there any videos anyone can recommend?
    This video by Lynn Abrams is my overall favorite how to shave video.

    Lynn always suggested that you try to shave just one straight path from your side burn down to you jawline. That's it. Do that until you start to feel comfortable. Then a little more, and then some more. You'll have questions along the way but just try that one little bit at first.
