If your looking for economy get a Boar brush, and a shave soap or cream is all you need. I think personally a Badger brush will be easier to learn with BUT you will learn either way with what you get.
Personal choice for myself it would either be a Boar or Finest badger brush, shave soap whether stick or puck and face lather...
I have a modern scuttle and it sits on the shelf now after a year of use
