The Norton 4/8 will do most of the honing work. 1000 grit sandpaper for the rough work. Abrasive pasted paddle strop for finishing. It is a good way to start and will give a very, very good shave.

I would advise the Norton 4/8 combo, but everyone else has beat me to it. Its a great inexpensive starter and will help you to learn the basics, once mastered you can move on to the others out there.

Imo the Norton 4k/8k combination stone is the most important stone to have first for beginners. You should be able to get nice shaves off the 8k side without a polishing stone of higher grit. The Naniwa 1K is great for resetting bevels, if you need to. Have fun!
