Boots the chemist sell a styptic stick for less than £2...also I'd recommend looking for a synthetic brush at turn n shave on etsy not sure about the postage costs but the basic clear handle brush is said to be a very good price and a very good knot ! Also look at iherb for Thayers if you use the app to purchase you get $5 off I managed to get 2 bottles with this deal for £15 shipped with no import tax or duties the code is APPS2017 ! I hope this helpsI was hoping to get something that works for bleeding cuts. There's been quite a few times when I'm in a hurry and have to shave. I end up getting cuts which just don't stop bleeding. I read that the Proraso gel is the best thing for that?
I might go down that route with the witch hazel. I'm having a hard time justifying the Thayers. With the Dr Harris, I wanted to get something a bit nicer. I know I can get a Palmolive shaving stick for £0.50 but, honestly, the cost isn't that bad when looking at how long the soap would last. Are there any soaps better at that price point?
More importantly, is there any brushes better than the Omega? I'm looking at roughly that price but might be able to spend a bit more if it's really worth it.
Thanks again for the help! Will definitely let you know how it goes!
Forgot to mention body shave Macca root shave cream is excellent and it only £8... for the money you really can't beat this cream unless you buy an Italian croap like vitos red in bulk that would work out cheaper !Boots the chemist sell a styptic stick for less than £2...also I'd recommend looking for a synthetic brush at turn n shave on etsy not sure about the postage costs but the basic clear handle brush is said to be a very good price and a very good knot !

I luckily have more than enough.
P&B are great soaps, I have Imperial Rum, and Spitfire, great news that you have been gifted a starter set. Good luck with the shaving !Thank you everyone for the advice! The response has been amazing, I honestly didn't expect many replies when I first wrote the post
I've been generously gifted a starter set (which was incredible). It literally has everything I need! I was completely blown away. So, for coming future, I luckily have more than enough.
I'll probably pick up some alum (as many of you suggested). I've had many recommendations for soap but I'm starting with Arko/Palmolive which are great to begin with.
I'm sure I'll upgrade the soap at some point (as it's one of the least expensive parts of kit when considering usage). Based on all the recommendations, I'm planning on going with P&B Imperial Rum. They're also a TSR member which is awesome
I'm really excited to finally start DE and it was made so much easier by all the support and guidance I found here. So, thank you!

Nearly everyone here claims to have been rendered poor by constant shaving purchases, but if opinions are worth something, you're dealing with a bunch of billionaires!
