Welcome to SRP. You already made some good choices. Boker's are nice, as are Dovo's. I have several and all are good shavers. As a matter of fact, I just bought a Bergisher Lowe from SRD and I love it. You will need a strop. Their premium 1 is quite popular and I heard good things about the IV model too. A silver tip badger is the best brush, and MWF is some great soap, very mild, has tallow in it, so it builds a great lather. SRD has awesome soaps too. You've made some excellent choices and it sounds like your well on your way to building a healthy obsession.....
