This is terrible advice. Horrible, misguided, uninformed, and simply wrong. Worse than that, you've included links to your own website, which in turn has Amazon affiliate links for the reader's purchases. Shame on you.

Shaving creams: Okay, there are some decent choices here (TOBS, AoS, T&H), and Proraso is acceptable. But that "Lab Series" stuff is a non-lathering cream. That's kind of a big deal.

Shaving soap: Speaking of highly suspect, anybody who puts together a of soaps that starts with Col. Conk should be summarily shot. The stuff is crap. Williams is notoriously difficult to lather, Van der Hagen is mediocre at best, and I've heard nothing good about Taconic soaps. Pre de Provence is good stuff, but there are hundreds of options that are just as good or better, and that are far superior to any of the other soaps listed.

Shaving brush: This is possibly the worst advice you've given. Unless you're going to spend at least $30 and more like $50, a badger brush is a bad idea. The vast majority of the shittiest brushes on the market are made from badger hair. And it isn't just a matter of preference - I'm talking about brushes that fall apart. Also, if you're going to make stupid recommendations, why not at least learn the names of the hair grades?

Razor: Again with the Amazon affiliate links. Seriously, this is not cool. And it appears that you compiled your "advice" by listing Amazon's top sellers in order. That is not a good basis for choosing a razor.

Blades: You really don't think there's a difference between brands? Yeah, just grab a bunch of Feathers. Or Sharks. You'll be fine. NOT.

Aftershaves: Cost does not equal quality. And the fact that an aftershave is available on Amazon may actually count against it.

This forum is a community of people who actually know something about wet shaving. We welcome those who are interested in learning. But having someone come on here and spam for his own website is bad enough. The fact that the recommendations are universally terrible is inexcusable.

Seriously, why don't you recommend a crappy stand that tips over and drops your razor when you remove the brush and an overpriced, undersized apothecary mug for building lather, too?
