UPDATE: As mentioned prior I purchased a RazoRock Mission razor. I also ended up purchasing a RazoRock Plissoft synthetic brush and making some pre-shave oil using two parts olive oil and one part castor oil. My DE shaving experiences have got much better as a result. The RazoRock Mission is a great razor (at least with my very limited experience with DE razors). I would be interested if one of you DE shaving veterans agree should you ever add one to your arsenal. The RazoRock Plissoft does a much better job lathering my face than the boar hair brush I purchased at Sally's Beauty Salon. I would like to thank everyone that posted advice/suggestions for the help.
