There is a TON of information here, not to mention lots of folks who are happy to help you along the way. So when you have questions, ask away.

For starters, if you have not yet done so, check out these two links:

Ian - have you bought your first razor yet? If not, make sure you buy it from a reputable vendor who professionally hones it to a "shave-ready" state. The edge on new razors from the factory are not very good and will give you uncomfortable results.

If you have bought it already (and this goes for skullz too!) and it was not pro honed, the first thing you should do is get it honed properly. Don't make the mistake I did and try to shave for months and months on a factory edge. It can be a miserable experience! Check out the classifieds Member Services - Straight Razor Place Classifieds for members who offer professional honing services.

Best of luck!
Yeah, I bought mine from SRD professionally honed.
