That being said, what better than to spend it on some straights?!
So my two cents is probably similar to what you've read - get a quality straight that's been honed, a simple brush and some good soap. Get a strop (up to you, but maybe nothing too fancy for the first one).
If you can stand to be without your straight while you send it out to be honed, 1 is ok. Otherwise get two! Maybe a vintage from the classifieds?
What are looking at getting?
