My advice to you would be to watch the classifieds section for a good razor for about $30. Be patient, there will be one before long. Then order the Filly strop from RupRazor: RupRazor - The Filly
Alternatively, you could order the gold dollar 200 razor from RupRazor as well if you prefer not to wait, but it costs a little more than $30 ($49 to be exact). All razors from RupRazor or the classifieds will come honed and shave ready. Stay away from Ebay.

As far as soaps/creams go, get samples before buying the big stuff. This is a good place to do so: The Shave Den Store (Powered by CubeCart)

I would recommend the following brands for trying samples of: Tabac, Mitchells Wool Fat, Truefitt, Taylor (that's Taylor of Old Bond Street), Castle Forbes, Proraso, and Trumper. I hope that helps get you started, and good luck!
