You do, indeed, have a very serious problem. You have a severe shortage of soap, and a fairly large lack of variety problem.

...but this one IS cracked.
Yeah, see what ya mean. It probably only takes a minute or two to decide what to shave with. You need way more brushes and soaps than that, a few well chosen razors add assorted witch hazels moisturizers and aftershaves it could take you all day to choose

On the lookout for a purse
It's not a problem until it's a problem so no problem!
Oh! Yeah, in my professional opinion....
You got it BAD friend!
It gets better, why B&B has some of the best 'enablers' in the world, right here, for your shopping
I can't tell you (I can but if the Wife ever caught wind, there'd be hell to pay!) the amount of stuff I have bought after reading through this forum...
Breathe, just breathe.
Then double down and get back to buying all the missing stuff you really need.
Recommend several shaving cream/soap samples to try to find your favorites. For now.
You are doing well. For now.
Welcome.

It's a bowl from a homeware store made from Bamboo fibers. It has a slightly matt surface so lathers well.

In the end I did order a defect 26mm synth Yaqi brush to try.
And then a pre-shave, four soaps, and an aftershave
Looks like a good start, Welcome to B&B!
Oh I almost forgot to mention something !!!! You know those silicone water or food bowls they make for your pets when you are traveling? Get one of those to use for a travel lather bowl , they work really well and are cheaper to get than the ones that are sold as silicone travel lather bowls !!
Pinaud Whisky Woods might be what your looking for. It is inexpensive and available on Amazon.Aftershave is on the to do list as I want to smell before I buy. There aren't many places near me who carry safety shave supplies. I'm open to suggestions for a good woody scent.
I also have a battered slim on the way which I plan to restore as a side project.
And yes down the rabbit whole I go
Big problem. No adjustables, no single edge, no scuttle, no techs. We're here to support you... go hit the BST threads 
Can confirm whiskey woods is currently one of my favorites but dont bother getting it on amazon they have absolute horrible packaging as in they will throw it in a bag that's not even closed and throw it in an envelope and then all your left is with an amazingly scented and wet envelope you will be better off just ordering it from another online shop
Nice little starter kit.
Soap samples are a great way to add variety and experiment.
Hmmm…I didn’t see any Omega Boar brushes, Synthetic brushes, Badger brushes, GEM 1912s, MicroMatics, Injectors, aftershaves, and the list goes on. (Plenty of time for all of that later.)
Take your time and enjoy. There is no perfect razor, soap, cream, pre-shave, etc. There is only the perfect one you use for that shave.
Recommend mastering your technique before chasing too many different options.
Welcome aboard, I look forward to following your journey.
