Hi all! I'm a total noob, so if i posted this in the wrong area, I apologize. Anyhoo, I got a shave at the barber shop the other week and i was completely turned on to straight razor shaving, i've been back twice. I'm hooked, and want to do it at home. So, I've done some reading and have been trying to come up with the best beginner set i can find! I think i've narrowed my choices down to 2 that i have found:

Classic Shaving

Pros: Badger brush, more aesthetically pleaseing to myself, DVD
cons: comparative price. not honed. no stone.

The well shaved gentleman

Pros: Less expensive comparatively, comes pre-honed (so it says), everything one would need such as honing paddle and styptic pencil, etc
Cons: Boar hair brush. Not as pretty.

So, which one should I go for? Or is there a better alternative that I haven't found?

Thanks for the help, I'm sure you have much better expertise than I!
