Welcome Joe. Try to resist the urge to splash out on lots of expensive gear at the start. You already have a good razor, so all you need is a $5 brush, a $5 soap and a $20 strop. They'll do everything you need and once you have a feel for everything you'll be able to target your dollars better. There're quite a few members in Texas who'll be able to help you and I hear its not that big, so you probably already know each other
Enjoy the learning curve and don't get frustrated, it should be meditation, not agitation.

Look forward to the shave, that's where it's worth it, just maintaining one would get kinda boring. Welcome. Tc

Good advice there, but make sure the strop is from a reputable vendor. Cheap ones from auctions etc are often not worth the money and may even harm your edge.

Welcome to an Older But Better Way of Shaving!
I have friends in TX and if you'd kindly include where in TX you are in your Profile, one of them may be close enough for you to have some hands on time. You can read and watch videos for months and you'll not learn as much as you can if a few hours or one on one time!
