Minimum kit for honing SRs
I want to learn how to hone my own straight razors from the outset of my straight shaving journey. I prefer to learn the skill rather than to ask someone to do something that I can learn to do myself. I am independent that way. I honed my own knives for years...so i am not a complete newb.
I am reading everything I can find on honing and watching videos. I am intrigued by the variation in approaches, tools and techniques. The basics, however, seem...well, pretty basic.
I would like some opinions on what I need as a minimum kit to start the process. I don't want to break the bank...my pockets are not that deep. FYI...I will be working with razors that are vintage antique store finds. Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom...

Do king stones need to be soaked in advance the way nortons do or are they of the splash-n-go variety.
Also, what is a cntg diamond plate? I haven't heard of that before. Are they a competitive brand to Atoma and DMT?
