Well I ended up with a barber's hone. Don't be angry with me guys, I did take your advice under consideration, but the price of the barber's hone was too good to pass up!
After I get better as straight shaving, I'll go invest in the 12K but right now, I need a cheap solution to get me by.

Having said that, a barber's hone will take care of you for quite a while and should not be considered a bad decision.
