No that's about it, and I can see it getting less, I recently gave away 2 or 3 razors - safety and shavette, and a brush.
Particularly as a beginner I think overcapitalising is a terribly detrimental thing, you can't figure out the square root of bugger all if you change your razor and/or soap/cream and or strop on an almost daily basis. All you learn is how to use lots of stuff badly.

Awesome!!!!

Finding all my stuff would be the hardest part of documenting my loot. Opened a drawer the other day and found 5 SRs I had forgotten about.

The OP is starting out with a good set.

This statement should be prominently displayed in the beginner's section, even with that Australianistic phrasing!

Somehow, some way, some day, I hope that I can figure out how to insert the phrase "you can't figure out the square root of bugger all" into a sentence!!!

Same here. Heck, I keep finding boxes of razors I'd forgotten about! I still hope to find the box of 15 new 7/8 Friodurs I have not seen for 5 years. No doubt they'll turn up when I stop looking for them and it will be like Christmas!

No worries, just making sure.
