If I were trying to put a shaving kit together for the minimum money and still have quality components, I would start off with a razor and strop from Kenrup that will cost in the 65-75 range. I would skip the bowl. Use a cereal bowl, large mug, or even just a plastic whip cream container. I would pick up a Crabtree & Evelyn best badger brush. I leave the other components to your imagination. YMMV and all of that...
