Congratulations on your heirloom Escher-you will be way up on the shaving comfort curve when you get it lapped and learn to use it properly. I finish all my personal shaving rotation razors on Eschers. The razor must already have a bevel evenly set and be sharp, before using this very fine grade hone to finish the edge.

Raising a lather or a slurry as we call it here is what you want to do when using the stone. I would raise it by a slurry stone made by Escher or if you don't have one/find one a DMT 325 grit plate will work just fine.
Congratulations.

I would recommend taping the sides and surface with some painter's tape and sealing it with something. The stuff in the can is similar to what I used, too.
The areas that Rich pointed to that you can leave are OK to leave. I like to flatten all chippy areas, so I take the flattening stone at an angle and flatten those chipped areas. They're not flat with the rest of the stone, but they're flat and not jagged. I mean like the flattening done in the pictures I've attached (from Old_School). You definitely don't have to do this, though, if you prefer the look that you already have.
