One way to get them a high quality soap for cheap would be to buy the full kg of P160 and sell out the individual blocks. I like it as well as Valobra Almond and it's far cheaper. If you can't wait for R&B to reopen, Superlather and a few others sell it.
Blades - I'd include Dorco 301's, Crystals, and Astra Superiors.
TSD aftershave splash and milk are really popular and not very expensive.

: Hi Warp,
:
: I just did this with 2 young guys and can
: offer a little of what I learned.
:
: First off they enjoyed my freezing balm more
: than anything !!! So if you can concoct one
: for them ... besides turning them on to the
: Arko and Anherb products ... they might get
: a big kick out of it. They loved MENTHOL ...
: being used to irritating Electric Shavers,
: or disposables.
:
: I would skip the Badger brushes entirely and
: stick to the smaller Omega Boars that Gio
: carries for around $15.00 each. Both guys
: found the Classic 48 too big to handle ...
: they had never lathered up anything.
:
: The ARKO Shave Stick is an absolute must as
: is a puck of VDH Deluxe. For (tube) shave
: creams I especially recommend the new Arko
: Extra Sensitive and any/all Godrej products.
: Either Tabac or Cella can be higher end
: products that I recommend highly.
:
: Also, I think one glycerin soap is needed to
: concoct the Super Lathers. Lacking the
: Tryhon classics , I would consider a Menthol
: laced one from The Shave Den.
:
: For blades .... I'm not a good person to ask
: since I find only the sharpest ones work for
: me.
:
: Razors ....... you can't beat the Lord Racer
: for the price and ease of use. I would
: forget about the Merkur HD's .... lots of
: blades do not work well in it (As you
: remember it removed 1/2 of my face outfitted
: with a Trig) . I believe the Progress will
: suit them, whatever blades they choose ...
: for their entire lives.
:
: If you can swing it, introduce them to
: several Royall Products: LYME and SPYCE ....
: classy and classic.
:
: I would forget all the English Shave Creams
: with the exception of Paul's.
:
: Of course an absolute MUST are the NB SC's
: !!! The sooner they learn about NB products,
: the better for an overall quality of life
: improvement.
:
: Finally ... VITA Talc, & Vifrex and at
: least one of Gio's Italian Soaps.
:
: Best Wishes for success.
