Welcome to the forums. Looks like a good start. When I started I first tried Derby razors. I think the Astras are a much better choice. Enjoy the pleasures of traditional shaving!

Welcome to the forum! You've made some fine choices for just starting out. Good luck on your first DE shave.

Thanks for the support guys! I definitely did my research before buying anything and did even more research before my first shave.

Everything went well with shave number 1. No nicks surprisingly.

Nice haul, but I don't see any AS that will burn your face off.
May I recommend VIBR?

Pinaud Clubman Bay Rum

Captain's Choice cat o nine tails will burn your face off, in the most pleasant way.

I see a second razor in your near future. I used my Merkur 34HD for about two weeks before I decided I needed an ATT R2 open comb--even though I love my Merkur. Oh, and a second brush. And...

Great set of gear to get started, and glad it worked out well on the first shave. Stick with this setup for a good month to really get your technique down, and then you can start venturing out into other hardware and software items if you feel so inclined/tempted!

Nice kit. Keen to hear a review of that L'occitane brush too!
