You're going a path I tried w/ less than stellar results. Learning honing at the same time you're learning the shave will have its affect - mostly enduring sub-standard edges. Should you find the shave harsh or unpleasant, there are many who will hone for just the cost of postage. Glen's thread on 'beginners tips' that covered honing had the oft stated and oft ignored recommendation to get the shave down for 6 mo. then to wade into honing. If I could do it over, that's what I would have done. PM me if you have any questions about getting cheap honing.
