hi everyone,
first off id like to apologize as this has been covered in other posts, however for someone at my level its quite overwhelming. I like everyone else here want to sharpen my edges, but I'm terribly lost on where to start and what stones I should start with. I have a few kitchen knives and also restore/use straight razors. I'm looking for recommendations on reading materials, videos or how to determine what stones I should start with. as a beginner I'm not against entry-level stones, I'd actually would prefer not to muck up good stones in the process of learning. Also, should I buy used? if so what should I look in used stones?
i guess in summary:

i guess in summary:
- what range of stones?
- combo vs non?
- used vs new?
- resources on techniques to use
