Hi and a warm welcome,
I guess you will have to find your way as we all have different ideas!
My idea is cheap vintage.
A Gillette Tech for about a tenner (Frenchblade)
One of FIDO's brushes. I wish I'd bought one to begin with.
Palmolive from Wilkos. A stick at 49 pence or the cream in tube 1.50. Both excellent.
Some yellow Unction from Prof Blighty for after shave balm. He's on the forum too.
Good sharp and well priced blades for me are the Gillette 7 o'clock yellow packs or green packs.
Use as little pressure on your face as if a little fairy was shaving you.... :shave
