Here's what I would suggest:
Razor: either this one if you want to stay frugal or this one if you want to splurge a bit. I'd stay away from the QShave. It's a clone of a razor with a lot of design issues. One being that the head is so large it's hard to get under the nose, etc.; another issue is that it is extremely aggressive even at its lowest setting.
Brush: This synthetic brush. I think it's much better to start with a synthetic than a boar brush. Boar brushes are less comfortable on your face and actually make it more difficult to make lather until they break in. No reason to mess with those variables when you're just trying to get the hang of it. As for this specific synthetic brush, I have one and it is an amazing value for the money. It is one of about a dozen brushes I own, some of which were $200+, and this $12 brush holds its own with them.
Shaving soap: Lots of options here. Barrister & Mann's Latha line performs extremely well and is a great value. Several scents to choose from. Barrister &
Mann's Glissant line is a bit more expensive but has even better performance and more complex scents. Seville is a particularly good starting point with B&M, just an extremely clean, classic, masculine scent. Pre de Provence and Pre de Provence No. 63 are classic french soaps that smell great and perform very well.
Aftershave: Even more options here. You could go with Thayer's witch hazel with aloe, or if you want a traditional high alcohol aftershave, Fine Accoutrements is excellent. There are several scents, all based on popular and/or classic colognes. Or you could splurge and get the world's greatest aftershave product, L'Occitane Cade After Shave Balm.
Blades: Amazon has some good deals on blades in bulk but just sucks for sampler packs, and you want to start with a sampler pack because reasons. So head on over to TryABlade and order two of the "Top 10 Sampler." You can't use your Amazon credit there, but it's going to come to less than $10 including shipping.
So, if you go with the cheapest option in each category, you come out to fifty dollars or so if I'm adding right, which leaves you room to pick out one or more of those splurge options I mentioned.

You can upgrade later as you can afford it, but this would be a good start. Watch a lot of YouTube vidoes, just search for "Safety Razor Shaving" or "DE Razor Shaving".

/r/wicked_edge for alot of info but I just started shaving alone at 31! I started with a Shavette too so pretty hard. But my ritual works like a charm.
Remember always pat your face with the towel to dry. Dont rub.
Tips on how to shave with a DE are plentiful on youtube.
Enjoy. Feel like a Boss.
I transitioned out of cartridge shaving a few years ago but only in the last year and a half started using the soaps and the brushes. And I have to be 100% honest with you it makes a HUGE difference. Get yourself a cheap synthetic brush like this Fendrihan which I adore and yes that's me as the only review on it. Or even this Razorock either would be wonderful and cheap choices. And then just snag a soap that you like the scent of it'll last you years. And your all set. One thing I personally highly recommend is doing this Sterling Starter kit it's perfect for someone just starting out imo. You get a razor some nice not aggressive astra blades and some soap that will last you quite a while.

I'm showing some well deserved love for Santa Paula! Santa Paula was a hidden gem nestled in the Sample Pack from Groomatorium. If you love the orangy / citrusy scents then this is definitely for you. Its made with Petitgrain (Bitter orange stem & leaf), Siberian Fir, Bitter Orange, Clary Sage, Litsea Cubeba, Siam Wood, and Cedar. From the second you begin to lather, the Orange aroma hit you. The Orange is very bright and fragrant , then there is a light woodys, earthy, floral base note. A very well put together scent profile
The aftershave is the icing on the cake. Same amazing Orangy / citrusy / light woodsy smell with a nice sting and then a light long lasting cool from the menthol.
Santa Paula is absolutely worthy of a full tub & Aftershave (once my samples are out lol)
Shout out to Ron at Groomatorium for this amazing scent!
Roll the dice on a Rimei, get refund if they send a vaguely similar junk razor
Everyone tries a slant eventually, and you get a great handle for the Rimei immediately
Wilkinson Sword blades are a relatively sure thing -- very sharp, also very smooth
Save Williams for later, unless you're some kind of lathering genius ;)
Start with cream
Indulge with artisan soap
Always a synthetic brush
