Merkur Shaving Brush

I recently bought a new razor double edge safety. I need some information on a good brand of shaving cream / soap, a shaving brush, replacement blades, and an aftershave balm (alcohol free if possible). The razor is Merkur. My skin is a little sensitive and my beard is probably harder than most men. All comments are greatly appreciated. If you could provide links to products that would help as well.

Noxzema has a shaving cream for sensitive skin Extra.
Black Drakkar After Shave Balm is made without alcohol.

"Merkur-Razor.co.uk is the ultimate online resource for all Merkur shaving products, especially razor Merkur razor blades, shaving sets and other accessories Merkur.

Edge shaving gel is for sensitive skin .. orange can. I use baby oil or on my legs and bikini line. No bumps. The men tell me the last warm (wet) towel on the face before shaving aid.
