Guys,

After reviewing the site and a lot of the information here, I have decided on getting the following items:

Boker Edelwiess
I will probably get a DOVO Carpe Diem and if I become an addict I will look at a vintage razor.

Edwin Jagger Best Badger Shaving Brush, Imitation Light Horn
My reading says a decent brush is important, but I don't want to go all out until I am experienced. I also would prefer not to have a plastic handle.

Fromm Razor Strop 2 1/4 X 21
I read that there is a good chance I may ruin my strop, but that you can mess up your razor with a poor strop. I figured this was in-between.

Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap /w Ceramic Bowl
Castle Forbes Cedar/Sandalwood Shaving Cream
I figured I would get a cream and soap to try out. I have heard nothing but rave reviews on both these.

I am thinking of holding off on a shaving bowl/scuttle. I really want to buy a nice one, but from what I have read there are cheaper alternatives for right now. I will probably not start shaving (with a straight razor) until April at the earliest, so we will see where I am in my purchases.

Probably the last thing I will get is a Hone.

If I am missing something please let me know!

Thanks in advance!
