Budget honing stones for the beginner

Just had a second go at a blade that was not great just ok after the first try a couple of weeks ago, redid the finish on film: brown - pink - light green and on strop: linen - leather and this time the result was superb. I believe my routine was the same but outcome was still different so at least for the honing newbie there seem to be a same same but different variable :)
 
The biggest breakthrough in honing for someone new is just to end up with a sharp end product. When you can do that once you know that you can do it again even if you aren't sure exactly how you did it. :)
