For sharpening I have the unbranded versions of these:

400, 600, 1000 grits should work for most outside regrinding an edge. I decided to get 240, 600, 1200 as this works for me.
I follow this with a polish using autosol on leather or MDF depending on what I can find in the garage.
Takes under a minute per blade for regular re-sharpening. I'll get a tormek if I ever buy a lathe.
Blade guide I have the cheap one from b&q but usually freehand it.
