    Welcome to SRP! Basically, you will need:

    - soap
    - brush
    - strop, preferably leather and linen/canvas
    - hand-honed razor
    - later on: fine hone or paste on leather/fabric

    Take a look at the classifieds here for a razor, as most members sell them shave-ready, which is a must. You will find a lot of information in the beginner's guide: Straight Razor Place Wiki:Books/Beginners Guide - Straight Razor Place Wiki. Other than that, watch many videos and ask many questions.

    Good luck and have fun!
