Opinions and your mileage may vary but start with a real razor, not a shavette.

I like that sponge he uses! And the alum block for finger traction, have to try that!
Question, he seems to be using his right hand for his left side WTG and his left hand for his right side. I usually see it taught the opposite way. This guy is however rocking it. What would be the advantages of this technique. Maybe easier to see what you are doing in the mirror?
The advantage is that's what he's comfortable with. You use what you're comfortable with.
As you practice you will find that you will freely swap hands throught the shave, depending on the angle of attack and growth of the hair. Everybody does it a little differently, but being an ambidextrous shaver is a big help, so practice that, even though it is hard in beginning.Ok! However it does seem like its a nice instructable video, he's taken the time to shoot it and edit it to show what he is doing. Taken as that, as someone who wants to learn, maybe it is a valid question to ask to the mentors out there?
I agree with all the above. Larry (@Whippeddog) service is second to none for the beginner.
Cheers
