I use a Hart Steel razor http://www.hartsteel.com/catalog/item/7762903/8899171.htm and Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar shaving cream with a boar bristle brush. There are many websites on shaving with a straight razor just google it. I shave after a shower letting the heat and moisture soften my beard. The one thing I will caution you on is NEVER draw a straight razor diagonally; it WILL cut you. A good razor should not need honing often if properly maintained with a leather strop. Take some time and do the research before you buy; a good razor is $$$ but you can’t get a better shave.
