Is there like an all in one kit I can get?
Like the SR and everything I need to hone for beginners?
it's not necessarily easier but generally much cheaper to assemble quality pieces individually. kits tend to to be of lower quality pieces assembled for newer users who don't really understand what they're looking at/dealing with. at a premium price for the pieces. especially hones. there's a huge variability in face feel off various hones, and you'll have to dial in what you like. I sent out razors to known honers to try out various stones/finishes to see if I wanted to pursue that type of edge. and it's the same for sizes and grinds of razors. we try out different things until we find what we like. Lapping film, and/or pasted balsa strops are the easiest/cheapest way to learn to get consistent edges, but stones can be satisfying too, once you know what type you like. or fun to discover if that's your thing too. honing is the deepest, and can be the most expensive rabbit hole we fall down.
quality pieces don't have to be expensive to a point, but you also get what you pay for. the way you keep the cost down is to research, and hunt out the bargain quality if price is an issue. good quality sets (all components) are very rare.
from where you are, you'd likely only need a good shave ready razor (or two, so one's always honed), a strop, and a honing set up if you want to do that work. brushes and soaps should already be in your inventory. starting with a known well honed straight limits your purchase options, but can be done. most new razors won't come shave ready from the factory but can be honed by a known good vendor. used/vintage razors should be assumed to be not shave ready unless the seller is known to be capable of it.
