Either way, blade sharpening is a skill I need to gain.
That would be a skill worth learning in any case. You can use it for the kitchen knives too. Remember a sharp knife is safer than a dull one.
With that established, which is easier to learn: sharpening a razor blade or knife?
The proper answer is: It depends.
I would recommend a simple flat stone (I use this one:

Box cutter blades have a concave grind. That requires more skill than a flat grind (which many knives have). If you settle for a flat grind when resharpening, it is only a little more finnicky than a knife. You wil not restore the original sharpness though. It may still get sharp enough to pass the shaving test.
