I just started getting into Wet Shaving a few months ago. I'm looking for some suggestions. Right now I have the TOBS Jermyn Street and GFT Eucris. What else would you recommend?
Thanks guys

EVERYTHING!
But seriously, a Speick stick is real nice. I also use Mike's Natural Orange, Cedarwood and Black Pepper on a daily basis.

Valobra croap!
Arko & Proraso
I would really really recommend two products.
Soap: Institute Karite
Cream: i Coloniali Rhubarb Shave Cream.
Mileage may vary

Difficult to provide just a few recommendations, there are so many great products out there to try. I have yet to be let down by any of the Razorock croaps - they all perform like champs and are fairly priced.
DR Harris, Cella, Tabac, MWF...you'll be buying them eventually, so you might as well start there.
+1 on Proraso. I've found their soap to be really easy to learn on. I've also had great success with Mystic Water soap. I'm also still pretty new (only about 2.5 months in), so I have yet to try all the amazing soaps recommended above.
My stock answer to this question: Honeybee Spa Shaving soap. Check out members' reviews.

Kiss My Face cream is cheap, lathers well, and comes in a number of nice scents (I like the Key Lime).
Harris soap if you want the best. You don't have to splurge for the wooden bowl. Buy the refill puck and stick it in a mug, or 1-cup Pyrex or Tupperware bowl.
every new guy should use tabac soap.
my favorite puck is Tabac, and be sure to try some Mama Bears, great lather and glide there too.

Appreciate it guys. I just got the TOBS and GFT because I know those two names. Iwill definitely try some of your suggestions
You opened Pandora's Box
so many options. But to me, one absolute "must-have" is Proraso original (green) cream or soap. Inexpensive and divine. Also, a good constant to use when trying different razor/blade combos - you know you will get a consistent great lather, so differences in results most likely aren't due to the lather, but technique or choice of razor and blade.
