I have never used a straight razor before and wish to give it a go. I can buy a Sheffield steel razor for around £10 but it has small chips in the blade, can you confirm ive got every ground covered with the below items?

Rough stone to breadknife
1k hone to set bevel
3k/8k stone (thats all I can find at a good price in the UK) to hone it
would I need a 12k stone to polish or not?
A leather and linen strop
