You won't need hones or any pasted strops in the early days mate. Just the razor (Shave Ready), a strop, a brush and some soap of one sort or another. Any thing else is secondary for now. Later on you might have to send the razor out for a hone, or maybe by then you will have bought a set of hones and had someone show you how to do it. Check out youtube, there are some excellent vids on honing out there.
