What type of setup did you get. I've been at it again for about 3 months. I bought a Phoenix double open comb, very mild good looking razor. I also have a Merkur 1904 41C. I use Stirling soaps, the are a tallow based soap that smell better than any other, lots of fragrances to choose from, I like Bay Rum and Bonaparte.
Tryablade.com is a good source to try multiple blades, I just go 50 blades delivered for $19. My favorites so far are Astra, personna lab blue and Polsilver.
Let the razor do the work, just like above poster stated, shave like you have a sunburn.
Nickshaves on YouTube is a good one to watch, as is the shaving evangelist.

I use a slant..slices and dices in a good way.. Wouldn't recommend at first, but it's awesome after you have a few months under your belt.
