I use a muhle (they sell them on the link.) I’d suggest starting with a closed comb head and whatever handle suits you. (They’re interchangeable,)

I use an open comb and it’s much more aggressive, and not for starting out.

I’d recommend staying away from the frequently recommended “entry” razor- the Merkur 34c. The head on the one I tried has a ridiculous amount of play in how it held the blade- it’d clamp down but it’d never consistently seat itself so it was always off center or twisted.

As for blades, I use feather, but you can buy variety packs and find the set that works for you. That tends to be the most variable part.
