I used to be a Mach 3 guy but I have been using a DE since buying at an Estate sale last year.
Razor:I have been using a Gillette nonadjustable DE since buying it at the Estate sale.
Mugs: Estate bundle included 2 crappy Old spice mugs but hey...
Soap: Problem is the CVS/Walmarts/Walgreen's around here only carry Williams Soap. I am about through my first bar but not happy with the sudsy capability.
Blades: I have used the basic Walgreen's stainless blades.
Brushes: I picked up a couple of estate brushes. 1-Stag badger hair, 1- unknown of unknown bristles. I already went through a new $6 VanDerHagen boar brush and bought another I still can't find
I guess my next step would be to get some better soap and perhaps some better blades if they exist. Someone mentioned samples but I haven't figured out where you ask for them. I was even having problems finding sources online for all the brands mentioned here. (outside of the art of shaving, Vintage blades, Classic shaving, and Lees safety razors). Local sources are none as I mentioned.
