I am in the process to get a new SR, Probably a Wacker Le Barbierīs bride. I supose they donīt come shave ready. Will my Yellow Lake be able to get it shave ready?
The Wacker will come shave ready so you would be doing it a disservice by putting it to a hone with nil in the skills department. Go to Whipped Dog Straight Razor Shaving Equipment and pick up a good inexpensive razor or three to work with. They can be had a less than $20 USD. You can also find plenty of other items you would most likely need.

The GD is a RSO, not worth the time or money that it would take for a novice such as yourself to learn on. All it will do is confuse and frustrate you. Invest in the lower grit stones for setting bevels and setting the edge. Watching Gssixguns YouTube videos is going to be the best advice if you really want to learn. I would also suggest that as you develope your skills send a razor off to a mentor that can help you identify the areas you need to improve in.

Good luck in your endeavors.
