Greetings Oscar. I'm too new at wetshaving myself to comment on your gear. It's great that you're starting at 16. Your skin will thank you for it, you'll get good shaves, and it will keep you engaged with all the different choices and approaches. I like the idea of the skill involved. It's kind of like a hobby in a way, but a "productive" hobby.

Good gear, grab a sampler pack from one of our vendors like West Coast Shaving or razorbladesandmore.com to help broaden your appreciation (or lack of) to a variety of blades across the world.

Welcome 2 B&B! No experience with a nylon brush myself, but that vintage Gillette Tech will do you good. Astra blades are next up in my rotation.

Good for you to start so young. When you're my age you'll be a grizzled veteran and won't even be that old!
God loves you so much, that he made you read this, just to let you know.

Welcome! Nice first setup. Great to see a young man enjoying the finer ways of shaving. Spread the word at school! You're much cooler than the kids with the multi-blades and canned goop!
