OK- assuming you are serious:
1) Anything which is not going to go past your lips does not need to be kosher- so don't worry about clothes/coms/brushes/shoes etc
2) A safety razor or straight blade (cut-throat razor) is forbidden as we cannot use a naked blade on the face- an electrical razor with a foil or rotary head should be used.
3) Soap doe snot need to be kosher nor does toothpaste. What does happen is that some of these products ger certified for Passover as to the fact that they do not contain chametz and are thus forbidden to own over the period of Peasach (Passover). For the rest of the year it is a non-issue. (one example of this is shampoo which contains beer- which is chametz and thus cannot be owned over Pesach)
4) Shatnez (forbidden mixtures of wool and linen) in clothing is actually very rare nowadays- and only really found in coats or suit jackets with a lining- where the interior lining may be linen or wool and the outer garment the opposite- and then the two are stitched together (if they are not stitched together it is not a problem). If it concerns you, there are specialist stores that check garments and replace forbidden mixtures- you would have to look for them locally.
All of the above, only applies to Jews- none of these laws apply to non-Jews. If you seriously want to follow Jewish law, then contact your local Orthodox Rabbi or Beis Din (Rabbinical court) and find out about conversion programmes. They will try to dissuade you- stick it out, if you are persistent and sincere, they will change and will treat you fantastically during the conversion process.

This has to be a joke.
Their is no such thing as a kosher/ non kosher comb and toothbrush.
the same pretty much goes for soap and toothpaste.

It doesn't sound to me like you're Jewish. I think my best advice would be to consider converting to Judaism if you're sincere about it--that is, if being and acting Jewish seems right for you. If you're not interested in converting then I wouldn't bother--there's no point.
Also--as noted, non-edible items are neither kosher nor non-kosher--the dietary laws don't apply to them. If you mean you mix linen and wool in your clothes (called shatnez in Hebrew) then yes, this is not permitted but it isn't considered a kosher law. Otherwise your clothes are fine.

Why do you want to follow Jewish law? The 613 commandments only apply to Jews. Non-Jews are bound by only the seven Noahide laws.

There is only one Jewish law of any significance - The Golden Rule (and, no, Jews didn't invent it). All the other laws are just details that you can try out if you are in the mood.

If you're not Jewish, don't bother. There are over 600 hundred of them, and doing that would be impossible. Heck, NO one is even able to keep all of the Ten Commandments. WHO (other than Jesus) has NEVER lied, for example.
If you're a Christian, then you can be thankful that Jesus died for your sins. Otherwise, your goose would be cooked!
If you're not a Christian, you might want to consider becoming one. Or else hope that God has some other means in mind by which you'll later get a chance to come to Him.

Good luck, as the Jews were never able to keep the law, and doing your best is not good enough..
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Don't you know it is impossible to keep all the law.
Is it not written, that if you offend in even one point, you are guilty of breaking all of it?
The law is our schoolmaster, to bring us to Christ.
Write the laws on your heart.
