Thanked: 1515/8 or 6/8 makes little difference, but for a new person the 5/8 and even 4/8 are easiest to handle. The stuff you have picked out is great, however like it was said above, you need to start on a cheaper strop and move up, but a 3" is easiest to use. The Soap shown above from CVS and Walgreens works and is cheap.
DOn't get too hung up on honing right now. You can have that done, but the Norton set is the cheapest and easiest way to start. I also recommend the chinese 12K as its a cheap finishing hone and cuts slow. SWaty hones are great I am told and every time I find one they are expensive and are really only for touch ups.
Take your time and be patient and you will learn to enjoy it. Going to fast will result in cuts, money wasted, and an unhappy result.
Good Luck and Welcome to SRP!
