Where is the best place to buy a hone? What grit(s) do you need to get started?? How much should a hone cost? Best brand? Advice for beginner?
 
to get started you only need a high grit hone, a barbers hone or chinese 12k etc.

Its only if you want to get into honing, rather than maintaining a honed edge that you need more
 
My recommendation is a yellow coticule:
more versatile than a barbers hone and easier to lap and use than the Chinese hone. That said, mdunn is correct: any fine hone will do and, if all you are doing is maintaining a sharp razor, it's all you ever need.
