My go-to is kinda the "newbie standard"
Naniwa 1/5/8/12, although I'm working on getting my 1/5 work better so that the 8k goes faster. The 12k is my current preferred finish, but more work on my naturals (vermio, coti, possible thuringian) is needed.

A coticule.
Green chosera 1k if edge repair is needed.
Green paste if a little extra sharpness is needed.
