Thank you to all. To answer Gasman, I bought the Sanssouci razor Obie listed in the Buy/Sell/Trade and a 2 1/2" Plain Vanilla Steerhide Strop from Heirloom Strops/Well Shaved Gentlemen. Couldn't find any brushes on the forum, so bought a Badger hair brush, stand and sandlewood shaving soap from Grooming Lounge. Please feel free to recommend any place I should consider for my next purchase. I'll try to make my own shaving soap after this bar runs out as I've been making cold press soap as another hobby the last few years.


Thank you for all the offers of help, I'm sure I'll be taking you all up on that after my first shave.
