Of those two vendors, I'd go with Maggard 10 times out of 10. They have outstanding customer service, fair prices, and good stuff. Razor Emporium ... well, [you might want to read this](http://www.reddit.com/r/wicked_edge/comments/2ptg08/avoid_razor_emporium/).

As to the gear you've chosen, it all looks good. I'd choose one of the Maggard Razors soaps instead; IMO the performance is significantly better than Proraso. You should also be  aware that a boar brush requires a break-in period; if you want to avoid that, consider the S10065 synthetic.

You'll also want to order a bigger blade sampler. Maggard sells a good selection, but you have to buy an entire 5- or 10-pack. My inclination would be to get two of each of the ten or so most popular blades you don't already have from tryablade.com.
