Hi,
First off I would like to thank you for offering such a great site as a resource to us newbies.

I have been using a brush and soap with a disposable for quite some time and have always been intrigued by straight razor shaving. I have always leaned toward the finer things in life; wine, craft brews, long motorcycle rides, etc... So I figure straight razor shaving would be a fantastic addition to my lifestyle. I have purchased a new Dovo 5/8" razor that should arrive in the next few days. I have read many of the tutorials and would like to know if anyone has any tips they would like to add before I begin this new endeavor.

Thanks again for giving someone so new to this as me an open forum to learn and grow.
