That's the one. I also got some gillette silver blue blades ($.80 black friday deal) and some proraso as a second option because it's regarded as a good beginner's soap.
I'm trying to not buy 10 samples right now before I even get the kit. I should make sure I like safety razor shaving before I go whole hog.

You definitely want to get a sample pack of blades.
Since every face is different, different blades work better or worse for each person.
For example, Feather blades are regarded as one of the sharpest / best blades on the market, they chew my face up,
lots of nicks and I've been DE shaving for a very long time.
For me I've found Astra Platnium, and Voskhod blades work about the best.
