Thanked: 1903Welcome to SRP.
As far as beginner equipment is concerned, I would - at the time of writing - seriously consider Straight Razor Designs' offers. A bottom line Dovo and one of their strops will not necessarily cost more than a similar set from the Classifieds, but the Best Quality Dovos are often highly underrated razors (I find them visually bland, but very efficient and easy to maintain) and SRD's strops are in the same league as Tony Miller's (ie both deliver excellent value for money).
Regarding shaving paraphernalia, I would encourage you to peruse the review sections in the equipment forum. Personally, I would invest in Castle Forbes' products, especially their pre shave. Except for some exotic stuff from Italy, I have not found anything that outperforms Castle Forbes, and the difference in price to the products you suggested is negligible.
Good luck, and keep us posted.
Regards,
RobinLast edited by BeBerlin; 12-26-2009 at 09:29 PM.
