Welcome to the forum. There is so much to learn when you start learning to shave with a straight razor. You are off to a good start by reading the Wiki. Another good thing to do is use the search box in the upper right corner to find threads on what people have recommended as a first razor regarding blade size etc.. Do the same for honing a razor or any other pertinent subject too. Doing that will give you very specific questions to ask.

I think you will find honing a razor slightly different from sharpening knives and other tools. I'd approach it as if you have no experience sharpening anything.

Enjoy your time here.
