You can as long as you lap (flatten) the stone when necessary. You would do this whether or not you only honed razors, but especially if honing both knives and razors. Wet/dry sandpaper can be used on a flat surface, or a good diamond plate. Personally I use my 325 diamond plate to flatten stones, and to sharpen my kitchen knives.
Since you have the advantage of going to directly to Japan you can probably get better deals, at least saving on shipping, and maybe customs fees. Look for Atoma diamond plates and Suehiro finishing stones, The Suehiro Gokumyo 20K is the cat's whiskers for a final finisher. Naniwa SuperStones or Chosera, Shapton GlassStones or Shapton Pro are also well thought of.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
