Thread: Chinese 12k stone

I have no experience with honing so please forgive me if I say anything really stupid.
I have only one stone, a Chinese 12,000grit water-stone which I use whenever I feel my razor is dull.
I recently bought a vintage straight razor, “Boker A&Tree band” and it really needs to be honed as it is absolutely non-shave ready.
My question is this: can I do it only with my 12,000grit water stone or I have to by a 4,000/8,000 comb stone?
I am trying to avoid expenses at the moment, and if there is the possibility of avoiding to buy a new stone I would prefer that.
If I pass the razor 500 or even 1000 times on the Chinese 12,000 would that restore the edge?
Thank you very much.
