Vintage blades has great stuff and I am getting the brushes from Jim over there. Anything you get there will be awesome. His razors are honed by Lynn if you get that option and he has my favorite creams. If you want to get going right now go there and get one of his kits with a new razor. I would go for a mid level kit since you seem to like better stuff. Or get your razor there if you want a new one and some after shave from any of the makers he has, they are all good, some soap from mama bear and some after shave, some soap from The Gentlemans Quarter, a strop from Tony Miller at the Well Shaved Gentleman and so on. If you want a newby kit that is with a vintage razor then I will make one for you and will be taking orders. I can do whatever you want if it comes from those guys.
