Pretty much all of us on B&B were in your shoes when we started. Sure, it's fun to rotate razors and brushes and soaps, to use new stuff everyday, but that's counterproductive to learning to use what you have. Most if not all of us have chased that Holy Grail, only to find out it truly doesn't exist. It's not the destination, it's the journey. Proper technique, now that's the Holy Grail. Since there are multiple aspects of wet shaving, there are multiple things for you to master to get a great technique. IMHO, the razor and blade are secondary to a superior lather. Razors and blades don't shave your face, you do.
