Sounds great I am a newbie also. Looking forward to a very good shape myself as I only DE shaved for about one month and now moved into straight razor shave. It is coming along and after about three days of straight razor shave I am doing my sideburns cheeks under the nose and lip. Tomorrow I am going to do the neck for the first time. I have not yet got a great shave but there is a huge learning curve with the straight razor. But I can say I have only been nicked once.
