Hello from missouri

just started shaving with a japanese straight razor... it came fairly sharp/shave ready... thought to myself... i need to hone this thing up good and sharp, i wanna pass the "hanging hair test" seems i have boogered up the thing pretty good :( I don't own a traditional "western" straight razor nor have I ever shaved with one... but i am looking for a good traditional razor, although i am on a budget! got bunches of questions...

1. where can i get my kamisori honed professionally
2. where can i learn to hone my own kamisori
3. are japanese stones different from american stones (hones/waterstones)... meaning i saw somewhere that a 6k grit american stone might be an 8k in japan
4. where can i find a good traditional western straight razor
5.
