Definitely lock the door. At first you're going to experience problems with the shaving itself, there's absolutely no need of further outsider interference. Good luck!

Thanks. I'm sure I can lock the door, I just wonder about the wrath of a woman separated from her cosmetics!
I've been using it with Musgo Real cream, and am getting pretty good at making a nice lather in a bowl. The brush is pure badger, but I guess that means it is trimmed to shape, and also a little stiff. Sometimes it feels scratchy, but sometimes I like the brisk massage aspect of it. And I always finish off just before shaving with a few paint strokes, which are really quite smooth.
I can whip up the cream into a lather in no time. Today I got my first soap - a puck of Kent. Not sure if I'll use the Tweezerman or the Kent brush (stiffer) that came with the soap.
Thanks again for the recommendation.
The art of shaving has a nice travel pack with cream, oil, aftershave balm and a badger for $50. That is what i started with and am still using the razor. It might be more than you are wanting to pay butmit gives you some difference in shavecream to play with.
