[Parker 29L] (http://www.amazon.com/Parker-29L-Butterfly-Safety-Razor/dp/B004SDDTH6/ref=pd_sbs_hpc_13) is a copy of the Lady Gillette razor.
When I was getting into Wetshaving, I got my wife the Parker 29L which in most respects is a modern-day clone of the infamouse Lady Gillette, it has a long-handle and the butterfly door opening which makes her feel safer using it. 2 years later she is still sold and loves it!
Razor: Edwin Jagger, ~$35, or the Parker 29L.
Brush: Omega 10048.
Soap: I haven't used proraso but it's the only thing I can think of that's available on amazon with the shipping. Maybe someone will chime in who knows. Here's the link to one of them.
Note: you may also want to buy some witch hazel, an alum block and a blade sampler. But, the blade sampler will be cheaper and better if you go through a site like tryablade.com or maggardrazors.com

This isn't quite 4 inches, but it's a modern copy of a Lady Gillette. The other thing you could look into is the potato peeler razor.
Also, there's another, I believe it's called the "christy" razor.
Hey! I've been DE shaving for about 2 years or so and I can definitely say it saves money. I didn't get into it as a hobby so it's still been pretty cheap. In fact, I'm using the soap I started with. I've linked everything I bought when I started (I can't find the blades though).

I would then suggest getting a variety pack of razor blades. That way you can figure out which one really works best for your skin. I used to get red bumps/razor burn whenever I shaved with a Venus. That never happens to me now. I had learned that the more razor blades, the higher the chance of irritation. Now, some days I get a ridiculously smooth shave and some days I don't. However, I think that's a reflection of my skin, not this method of shaving.
Let me know what other questions you may have! I really love this way of shaving! Good luck!
