I learned how to straight shave on disposables straight blades. I quickly learned that I need some good straight shaving soaps and a good performing badger brush. After that, I moved up the learning curve with authority.

Then came fixed razors, stropping, light honing, and stone honing, which was another big step in straight shaving.

The Good News; SRP Wiki and SRP members do an outstanding job guiding you along.
