    all you really need is a razor, some shaving soap/cream and a brush to start with, then if you get SAD (shaving aquisition disorder) you'll wind up buying a whole load more.

    for technique have a look at mantic59's video's on youtube, they're very good. You will get a few nicks but not as many as you may think. a vital bit of kit is an alum block or styptc pencil, this will help stop the bleeding if you do give yourself a little cut, with no need for little bits of toilet paper.

    have a look at chris' site he has great stuff at very good prices and quick delivery.

    and finally make the jump, once you do you'll never go back.
