I am looking to get into the game but I am wondering about creams and such. I know to be totally authentic I need to go the all the way with the dish, brush, puck etc. But not to meaning commit sacralige I was wondering if it would be possible/advisable to start out using a CREAM shaving cream like this....

men's Neutrogena MenŽ Skin Clearing Shave Cream - Neutrogena

I'm worried about start up cost of something that I might abandon ( I hope not/probably not) I figured maybe I could just by a blade and stroup set up and later get the cup and brush etc. Also I presently use this cream with good sucess.

Tell me what you guys think please.
