I'd imagine you're question has already been answered, but you'd recently asked about a razor for your husband. I have had a fantastic time with one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Dovo-Shavette-Straight-Razor-Handle/dp/B001GMVNXO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1426566217&sr=8-3&keywords=dovo+shavette
It has affordable, replaceable blades, a comfortable handle, and is genuinely well made. I bought it thinking I might go into straight razor shaving, but there's no need. The blades in this are nearly as long, and replaceable. You don't have to have a length of leather to sharpen your blade in your bathroom.
My girlfriend loves Dreadnaught cream. Even if he does not use the straight razor to shave, this cream smells amazing. I tell all my friends to buy it, regardless of their method.

I love it.
You're welcome.
Sincerely,

Nothing wrong with those choices at all. Here is my 2 cents for some harware, and my suggestion would be to just try as many blades as possible to start with.
Razor, Brush, Cream

Edit : Made an Amazon List
Usually cant go wrong with an Edwin Jagger.
Here's some Parker shaving brushes which would probably be good for a starter too.
Amazon.
Je te fais la liste avec prix arrondis.
J'ai pris uniquement des produits très basiques, très communs. Le coût initial peut sembler élevé, mais finalement, seuls le Merkur (29€) et les lames (11€) changent par rapport à d'autres pratiques du rasage.
I just changed over from the VDH with an Edwin Jagger Brush and honestly the difference is minimal. The VDH brush was a little bigger and tougher and the EJ is alot softer. I never had a problem getting a good lather with the old setup and I kindof liked the way the VDH brush took a bit more force before folding away. It felt like it was scraping away the dead skin and helping to push up the hairs a bit more. I am still trying to figure out why I changed I guess.
Meh. I'm not a big fan of any of those items, at least not at the prices shown.
I've used the Lord L6, and it's decent, but I'd put it in the same class as the Sodial razor, which costs a lot less. Or pay a bit more and get an Edwin Jagger. Amazon is not your friend on this item, price-wise, but since you've got the gift certificate...
For a brush, a good boar is always better than a cheap badger. You can't go wrong with the classic Semogue. Or again, spend money (maybe more than you should but again, we're keeping it on Amazon) for a quality badger brush.
For the blade sampler, you want at least a few of each thing you're going to try. And you don't need every blade ever made. This sampler should have something that works for you.
After that, all you need is some cream or soap. TOBS shave cream and Proraso both get quite a bit of love.
If you really want a bowl, you can get one from the kitchen (or from Target, or from ...). As far as a styptic pencil, I'd recommend buying it from the local drugstore. They're so cheap that you're bound to get hosed on shipping and handling when you order by mail.
I don't know about posting to Canada, but this is an excellent brush. I bought mine several years ago and it was about 10 bucks cheaper then, but it is the brush I use about 50% of the time and it still looks and feels brand new. I don't think you can go wrong with this brush.

Ive got this one, its served me well and it'll match your razor too...

I've never used this one but I think it looks classy as hell and if you order from the website I linked to, you'll pay no vat and the shipping's pretty reasonable (you lucky americans you). http://connaughtshaving.com/31k252.html
No doubt others will have recommendations too, I've seen pics on here of people with 10 or more brushes so they'll be more knowledgable on the subject, I'm still in my rad (razor acquisition disorder) phase and have yet to move onto collecting brushes, maybe next year...
Haha! The wait will end on Christmas day. I'm looking forward to trying it out. I will probably use it on Christmas day just to try it out immediately.
While I have you - I found that my brush is a bit soft for a good workup with a soap. It worked great with the cream, but by the end of building the lather from the soap my face was slightly irritated by the pressure. I presume this will be reduced by practicing my technique.
However, with a puck you've mentioned that a boar brush is recommended due to the stiffer nature of the bristles. Doing a quick search through your post history, I see a the cheaper recommendation of the $16 hybrid. My question to you is: is there a better quality boar brush you'd recommend? I'm not quite willing to shell out hundreds, but I wouldn't mind spending in the $30-$80 range.
And now that I've typed that all out, I'm going to hit your book again and refresh my memory with what you've recommended in your fourth edition.

Or is it worth the extra $ for this brush?

I bought this [Edwin Jagger] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QHYYR0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) brush from Amazon and I haven't had any trouble with it. It has served me well so far! The only thing is it's a little out of your range. Here is another [Jagger] (http://www.amazon.com/Edwin-Jagger-Imitation-Badger-Shaving/dp/B003LW6S0U/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1425516426&sr=8-6&keywords=edwin+jagger+brush) on Amazon. This one is pure badger instead of best though. I can't vouch for it, but it's more in your price range.
My shavingfactory one lost a little bit of hair the first times, but after the 3rd shave it was fine, perhaps the same will happen with yours sooner or later?
In any case, if you want to give the liojuny a try, here is the link to it from ebay:

here are two posts abour it

My other option was the edwin jagger best badger one which has quite good reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Edwin-Jagger-1ej946sds-Traditional-English/dp/B002QHYYR0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396470510&sr=8-1&keywords=edwin+jagger+finest+badger
(in theory silvertip is a higher category, that's why I went with the liojuny, but the best badger from edwin jagger is supposed to be quite good and is from a more "reputable" brand)
