From personal experience I can tell you that getting honing equipment too early is a BAD idea. Your razor will arrive completely shave ready, especially if it comes from Straight Razor Designs. Your first few shaves will be rough and you will probably think that your razor needs touching up on that pretty new hone you bought. You will probably just screw that razor up. ( this is all from experience) If I were you I would invest some of the money from the stuff you don't need ( towels, hone, paste) into upgrading the strop and brush, as well as buying some creams and some good aftershaves. Unless you are a previous wet shaver at lot of your time initially is gonna be spent on learning to buld a good lather and learning good general face prep ( read the wiki). I fully understand the desire to buy everything you could ever need at first, but take some of the advice from these posts and put your money into buying quality items you need to get started. Keep reading the wiki and these forums and keep practicing your technique and you will learn what other items you may want. You will also have a better idea as to exactly which items you want.

Just a bit more advice, try Alraz's Da Bomb shaving cream. It is very cushioning and moisturizing. I really think it would make the learning curve smoother .

And of course take all of this with a grain of salt. We each have our own preferences and ideals. But many on this site have been shaving with a straight longer than I have been alive. So when there is a consensus one way or another, go with it!

Best of luck and welcome!
