Thanked: 983What you get depends on what you want. If you don't care about pretty, go for whippeddog gear. Good, serviceable, pre-loved shaving equipment with a low price that will get you well under way. If you prefer new, then there are numerous places to get that from, but I recommend that you go through SRD or Classic Shaving.
To start off you only need a 'shave ready' razor and strop, but it will be better if you also get a shaving brush (Simpson, Thater, Vulfix and Semogue are respected brands with a range of price points, but there are others) and a shaving cream or soap to your own tastes. This is one of those things that you need to spend time trying to find what you really like. Price is not necessarily the mark of good quality with these either.
Keep in mind that a quality shave brush will last you years. A poor quality brush will be a constant source of annoyance and may last you some time as well, all the while shedding hair like a...Well like that bloke over there to the left
Optional things are shaving mugs and Scuttles. A lot of people like them, I don't myself, but I've never seen a need for them in my style of shaving. You might prefer it for your style. Any large mug will do the job if you want to try it out without breaking the bank any more than you need too.
