Nice setup, I like the photo. How do you like the musk? Been tempted by it, never actually see it in stores here.
looks to be a really nice start

I love it and does the wife. It is stong at first but mellows after a while and hangs around all day. Do yourself a favor and pick some up, its cheap too. I paid 3 something for it at the grocery store.
I think I may, going to check more places for it, seen only the ice so far. Thanks
That's a great set-up.
Classic razor and AS.
The Bigelow / Proraso cream is good stuff.

Pics just do not do this razor justice!
Wonderful starter setup.
One can't go wrong with a Vintage Gillette Tech, and yours is super shiny!!
C.O. Bigelow/ Proraso should be in every wet shavers den, and the C.O. Bigelow Aftershave Balms are very good quality products; I have the Elixir Green myself at the moment, and quite enjoy it.
By the way, what are you using for blades?
Happy shaving!!

Blades are the one thing I will for sure need to upgrade. I started with a pack of old gillette super stainless that my grandma had hanging around and also some personna from walmart. The personna is better but I know there is better yet. I will be looking into getting some others as well like: Feather, Derby, Shark, Personna Red, and Gillette 7 o'clock. Was going to buy a pack of each at WCS but they were sold out of the 7 o'clocks. Maybie a sampler pack but pretty sure I just want to try these for now.
Sampler pack is a good idea because everyone is different when it comes to blades.
I travel a lot, and I use the Walmart Personnas when I am traveling because they are plentiful and work very well.
With a sampler pack you can find what works best for you, your skin and beard type.
The Wal-Mart Personna's are passable blades. In my experience, they gave me more weepers than I was accustomed too, but they are far from the worst blades on the market.
Check out these two links, they seem to have the blades in stock that you want, and Phil is an awesome vendor to do business with, with super fast shipping:
Blade Samplers @ Bullgoose Shaving
Razor blades @ Bullgoose Shaving
+1 on BullGoose
Looks like you've got everything you need! 
+1 on the blade sampler though...definitely worth finding out which blades work best for you.
