It's hard to find good stuff locally (in Calgary). O'Connors has an okay selection of creams and stuff. I get all my stuff from here:

I usually buy stuff in bulk or with a buddy to save on shipping. I also find that around Christmas and father's day, they usually have packaged deals on sale where you can get a handle, box of blades, soap, brush, etc. for a good price.
When I was starting out, I just got a box of blades of all different varieties to find ones that I liked. Your results may vary, but they are insanely cheap compared to cartridge razors.
Everything you need to know can be found on here, and this post in particular is especially helpful:
