Thanks chaps.... I'm quite excited about getting all of this through now 
At approx 10p per blade even if they are used just once then it's still probably cheaper than the more traditionally used razor blades that most people buy...
Either way, I'm just after a nicer shaving experience and hopefully this will help.
Trouble is.... Of I really like this and it gives better shave.
Is it really simple to change the blades over too?
Am I going to get hooked and want to buy a load more, more expensive razor blades?
No doubt I'll try this, enjoy it, and start looking at a much more expensive Murkur one instead. In reality, what are the differences... I mean, how would you guys choose between the list of Murkur razors on the connaught shaving website? And do they all take the DE blades (like the personna platinum chrome)?
Sorry for so many questions! Total newbie to this. You guys have been really helpful!
I tried one of these old school safety razors and blades on recommendation from here a few years ago and basically cut my face off.At approx 10p per blade even if they are used just once then it's still probably cheaper than the more traditionally used razor blades that most people buy...

Don't bother now. I now use a gillette whatever thing and a "razorpit" - it's ace, I've not changed the blade in over a month.

I presume that investment in a brush / soap isn't essential and that I can continue to use Gillette shave gel for the time being?
Yes carry on with that. I still use loreal shaving gel. Only through laziness to be fair. I have a posh Simpson brush which I like, but realise they're not cheap. I also have a horsehair brush which is very efficient, though not as 'comfortable' to use. A tenth of the price though - click.
I've just added this to my rather large collection:

A very good brush, moderately rare too, also discounted to a level that's realistic. Highly recommended.

I bought a brush with razor but I found it absorbed most of the foam I used and didn't really seem to help? Do I need a foam/soap bowl to create a leather or something for it to work properly
The stuff I use comes out of the can ad a gel but foams up really well when you rub it together. I just then put this over my face using my hands after I've wet my hands and face. I'm not even using my brush at the moment. I tried it for the 1st couple of times but couldn't seen am6 benefit.
For the record, this is the foam I'm using

I won't be buying a soap or anything else as I'm very, VERY pleased with this stuff and have a spare can left too
It's. Not cheap but by miles the best foam I've ever used.
Many thanks in advance with regards to what to do with the brush.

Try TOBS, Trumper's, Doc Harris's or any proper shaving soap - even the humble Palmolive stick before you give up on a brush. When you get it right it's an unfeasibly slick shave.
