Thread: sharpening my first razor

I just bought my first straight razor on ebay, on the upper part of the blade is say "Across The Sea Sheffield steel". I tryed looking this up but did not find much information.

But my real question is, can get it sharp enough to shave with? My dad is a butcher and has a Japanese wet stone (suehiro 1000/6000), some unidentifiable lower grit stones(?250 and 500?), and 3 low quality diamond sharpeners, I thought that would be sufficient but after looking around i'm starting to doubt this. I am a broke college student without much money to spare on expensive stones, or even to get it honed professionally. Will I be able to sharpen this sufficiently using the hones I have available, micromesh, and maybe some jewelers rouge on a piece of leather?
I am not worried if it will take longer. Any suggestions?
