Alright everything finally came in and I was able to get the shave. I am using this razor, shaving cream, blades, and brush. The shave is way better but there are still little sharp hairs I would like to get rid of. I want to try and get the most clean shave as possible. Any advice? Thanks!

Amazon sells one that is way pricey but maybe only true connoisseurs will fork out this much cash. My dad used to use Wilkinson brand blades back in a day.

Hi there! I am curious about trying to get and use a safety razor for the first time and while I'd love to dive into all the various creams and equipment options - I'm a student who is in a different city interning for just a couple months and I'm already pretty tight on capacity of "things I can own" from a moving perspective. It feels like a lot to get a full set with brushes, shaving cream tubs, razor, blade cartridges, and the various other products like alums and balms and whatnot.
I was curious to get some thoughts on what the bare-minimum set up could reasonably be. Can I get by with something like this and and a razor with a small set of extra blades (i.e skip the brush and other skincare products)? If people think its absolutely necessary to have a brush and the other elements of the process I can easily just wait until the fall before diving in but if i can get by with just that and then go down the rabbit hole later I'd be stoked to get started with wet shaving!
Also while I'm posting here anyways - is this (Vikings Chieftain) a good pick for a beginner razor? I don't want to go with the starter sets again to minimize on "stuff" I have to move with but for the price and ratings this seems really good. Happy to move up to the $40 dollar range with brands like Mekur if its really worth it. On a similar note: is an adjustable razor like the Rockwell 6c something I should consider as I can move up the levels as I get more experienced?
Sorry this got so long - appreciate any and all advice!
Edit/Update: Thanks for all the help - I ended up going with the Maggard starter kit and I'm excited to get started with wet shaving!
