When I 'learnt' to hone, I found by far the most difficult aspect was choosing which stone to buy!
I wouldn't suggest any one start to hone with a badly made razor, because it would be completely counter productive. The first razor I honed was not my favorite, but one that was in ok condition. I bought it from an antique store and it hasn't touched the stones from then.
My advice to any one learning to hone would be buy a solid combination like a Norton or a BBW/Coti and just have a go.

Some very sage advice here from Greg... The most used systems by the entire forum are right there... Even those of us the hone for money now on other systems probably started with one of those two... You can definitely find the most concise information and the most accurate help if you start with one of them...

not only that, but it really dispells a lot of the 'mystery' from honing once you've had a go your self and shaved off your own razor!
