I would certainly not argue with @Steve56 about 2k and 6k but depending on how deep you get into this whole honing thing sooner or later you will need/want a 1k. For this reason, I went 1k, 4k and 8k. Simple and versatile.
I recently used my 1k to easily remove a few significant chips from a razor. And 4k is a great place to start when resetting the bevel on a shave-ready razor.
Works for me!
