    He Darren. There's prob. enough stuff here to make your head spin. FWIW, you can be good to yourself by spending some time on the 3 basic skills of the actual shave itself, making lather/beard prep, and stropping. The shave itself is very well articulated by the 'your first str8 shave' link on the home page. Lather making & beard prep - Mantic's vids are excellent: How To Build And Apply Traditional Shaving Lather - YouTube
    Stropping: http://straightrazorpalace.com/begin...ch-2011-a.html The 4th item is the meet-up Glen mentioned. It would be very hard to learn more or faster than a couple days w/ these guys. It will really help speed up your learning curve and get you to the joy. You'll soon be lighting up like a neon sign by getting the most amazing shaves of your life.
