Hi and welcome. Best place to start is in the classifieds. Find someone to hone and clean the razor for you. SRD is a good place for a strop. You can buy cheaper but will likely end up upgrading later and they have replacement pieces if you do mess it up learning.

Before you consider buying anything else, I suggest that you do some more reading. If you click on the SRP logo at the top, you will find a window of Helpful Links in the upper left. You will find all of this helpful information:
The Beginner's Guide to Straight Shaving
Starting on a budget
Local help
Straight Razor Database
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Your First Straight Razor Shave
All About the Straight Razor
What does "Shave Ready" mean?
