I would recommend starting off with wet shaving first. Purchase a quality fine or silvertip badger hair brush (above $50 range). This is one of the most important aspects of wet shaving, you can get a cheapy kit like I have and if you like the wetshaving system you will regret not buying a better brush like I have. As far as creams go, Target no longer carries proraso, so I just ordered it online, cost me about $15 w/s&h. If you have a Nordstroms or Bed Bath and Beyond near you, I've heard that they carry some good shaving creams and aftershaves, you could probably get samples from there as well. Taylor is another good brand to look out for.
Once you have a good brush, cream and aftershave (and a mug/bowl of some type). Give wetshaving a shot with your regular cartridge razor, and you will automatically notice the difference. Make sure to watch the intro videos that I posted in the OP to get an understanding of the whole thing.
If you decide to advance to a single blade double edge razor, you can go fourth and do so, like I have. I used to shave once every two weeks because I hated it so much, I eventually stopped shaving and just trimmed my beard with a trimmer. The irritation and razor burns were hell for me, but now, I want to shave every day because it just feels so refreshing.
