Ok, here is what I recommend to start with. This is basically what I started with to. None of these items are the best quality, but you can get a feel for the shave technique and you'll know if you want to spend more money on better stuff quickly.

Razor

Blades note you'll want to try other brands eventually, but these are not harsh, they're inexpensive, and thus a good first purchase.

Bowl & brush note
toss this puck of soap, it's shit.

Shave soap



This will get you going for gear. You can sub out stuff for better quality if you want, but I'd keep it cheap to start. You'll also want to learn how to use all this stuff. This is what I used to learn how to shave the first time. You'll find there are many techniques and schools of thought, but this is the best basic guid to learn and develop muscle memory.



Good luck, and if you need help pm me or check us out at /r/Wicked_edge/

I'm glad it looks familiar! I'm a bit of a cookbook geek so it sounds to me like your mom might have had the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, editions of which had a red and white checked cover. Perhaps she had the 1953 edition (which was reprinted in a facsimile edition in 2005)?

The original Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook also had a red and white cover and was first published in 1950 (and reprinted in 1998):

In any case, I haven't been able to find evidence that Betty Crocker's Hostess Cookbook (the one in the Draper kitchen) was ever published before 1967, and the [First Edition notice] (http://imgur.com/FK8dzOH) in the copy I have would seem to back this up.

Betty Crocker was a busy lady in the 1960s, and she published several more spiral-bound cookbooks similar to the one I have. I've also since found copies of her ["New Dinner for Two"] (https://www.amazon.com/Betty-Crockers-New-Dinner-Cookbook/dp/B0007HIHVU/) and ["New Good & Easy"] (https://www.amazon.com/Betty-Crockers-New-Dinner-Cookbook/dp/B0007HIHVU) cookbooks. I wonder if Betty D. ever had a chance to use those too?
