Once you jump into the world of wet shaving you will never look back. Have fun.
I have been usinf a brush and soap since Highschool, 20 years ago, god it has been that long. I used the straight razors for a bit, but the return on time and money hits a sweet spot with the double edge razors. I was sick of cans, and later sick at the cost of disposable blades. Read the how to info on thier page, go carefully. Also, I have been using a dab of hair condiitoner on the peard as a pre shave wash, pu tit on at the start and rinse at the end og the shower.
