I'm new to straight shaving and would appreciate any opinions on what I shoudl buy to get set up. I'm the type of person who would rather spend the money up front and get something I'm going to have and use years down the road. Here is a list I have come up with based on my research.

Dovo Solingen Trilogy Themed series 5/8 ($157)
3" Heirloom™ Red Latigo strope
Straight Razor Designs Silver Tip Shaving Brush #1
Colleen's Shaving soap

Is there another razor I should be looking at for that price range of around $150? Also I can't find a website that carries that razor pre-honed. I live in California and don't know of anywhere I could get it honed. The other razor I was looking at was the DOVO Extra Hollow Ground "Singing" Razor, 5/8, for 200 pre-honed. Whats the difference?
