Good morning gentlemen.

I am looking into starting to groom my facial hair with a cut throat razor (I use a disposable safety razor but I seek to increase my manliness game), I have my eye on one that's distributed on Amazon.

Now, what sort of products would you reccomend for one that is soft-skinned? (shaving soaps and others) And which ones should I avoid?

I'd say you'll just have to experiment and see which one you like the best!

Just be careful not to bleed out, especially when you've opened your pores after taking a shower.
Use warm water on your face, because if you use hot (which I always used to) it will remove natural "essential" oils.

Let us know what you've decided on. Soap or cream!

By "cut throat razor" are you talking about a straight razor? Braver man than I, if so. I'm certain I'd end up peeling the skin off the side of my face that way. I think it would be all kinds of cool to use one, but I don't trust my hands to be steady enough to do it safely.

I do use an old school razor though, a Merkur of Solingen, stainless steel, with double-edged Derby blades. It's a nice, smooth shave, but it definitely takes some getting used to, and it's easy to give yourself razor burn if you're not careful. The soap is just your standard Williams shaving soap, in a generic mug, and I use a boar hair brush, all gifts from my better half. Good stuff. Shaving became luxurious. :)

A bit late but if you're still curious:

I'd give a double-edge safety razor a go first, as Joe said. I use a Merkur 33C razor which is decent for a beginner's one, and Astra SP blades. Never had much luck with the Williams soap, but Proraso (both the cream and soap) are great for creating lather, as well a few British brands like Taylor of Old Bond Street. The brush I use is just a cheap badger hair one, though you'll want to look for this yourself.

The important thing with these, really, is just using very little pressure and maintaining the proper blade angle.

I've tried using a double edged safety razor, but I couldn't master my angling with the razor and thus gave me a strange kind of shave...

So I thought that using a straight razor would be easier to get the angle because of the grip, I don't know how hone a razor so I might have to get the ones that have the replaceable razor blade.

I guess you could try, although you're gonna have to be even more careful. The important thing with the DE razors is that the blade, razor head and safety bar all touch the skin at the same time (something like this http://www.gad.net/GAD/Photos/Shaving/ShavingAngles.png); if you've got that then it's the right angle. You do have to replace the blades often but they're very cheap, you can get a pack of 100 for like $10 from Ebay or Amazon.

I'd say if you're struggling with a DE safety razor, a straight razor would only be harder..

I don't dare to step away from my cartridge shaving.. I stopped shaving my face, I just trim the beard 2 times a week or so, to a short stubble.

I have no idea how I should shave my head with a DE or a straight razor.. maybe the sides and upside would work, but the back of my head?

You can get a super sharp knife and use that instead since keeping a knife has multiple purposes PLUS you can shave in public with it, Crocodile Dundy was also known to be very manly.

Don't do it. It's not worth it man. Just stick with the disposable. Clean shave and no chance of slipping and slicing your throat.

I would always be weary of ordering something important like that online. I am sure that you can find a good deal, but you want to make sure that it is something that you like. If it will be used on your face everyday, I think that it would fall into that category. I would like to physically hold and feel my razor before buying it.

I would be scared to death to put one of those to my face. With my luck I would sneeze and loose a large chunk of meat. If you use one, you are a braver man than I.
