welcome aboard sonny. im relatively new to honing my own razors as well - bought the same exact stone setup after reading these boards. you might want to consider also picking up a 2k or 3k naniwa as well. its a pretty big gap from 1k to 5k and adding the 3k really helped finalize the bevel and kick-start the rest of my progression.
im obsessing over jnats at the moment, but still like using the naniwas to get the razor started.
have fun.
