Help the Newbie out! Sample packs/razor stands etc

[USMC_Sparky]

Good morning from Washington, DC!

I was hoping to get some advice from you fine gentleman regarding a nice set up for my new shaving addiction. As of now I just have a Merkur razor and a starter pack I picked up from the AoS. After being on the site for a few days I've seen some very nice set ups and I'd like to have my own! So, on to the question:

Can anyone recommend some accessories and razor starter packs/soaps/brushes? There's so much information on the site it's kind of overwhelming, links and all advice are greatly appreciated! I'll include a picture of my (lacking) but current set up! Thanks all!

P.S.- I wasn't sure if this was the appropriate section of the forum to post this, if not my apologies

I got my razor/brush stand from B&B member Jarrod from The Superior Shave: http://www.thesuperiorshave.com/RazorStands.html

Great customer service!

Trumpers have a good starter pack available from their website

unfortunately sold out at the moment but they also have stands and a great range of other items.

Connaughtshaving.com also sell some soap and blade samples and shipping is great.

Good luck going down the rabbit hole
