The stone maker is Shapton not Sharpton.
As said tape your spine when honing.
When you start to make your first blade stay with a simple straight blades. Stay away from smiling blades in the beginning.
Practice stropping with a butter knife.
Good luckIf you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

I'd only add, follow-up on the barber idea, and watch this group for tips and tricks on all aspects of the adventure. It can be tremendously rewarding!

Welcome.
Plenty excellent Filarmonica razors for sale locally:

For hones you may want to look into these: https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar...9-f9163111d0d4
I don't know these particular stones but with 8000 grit and a good strop you should be able to get a shaving edge on your razor.
Here is some chromium oxyde for improving the edge after the 8000 grit stone in case stropping on plain leather is not quite enough:

This is a very decent hanging strop: https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar...3-eceeaae29b92
These bench strops look decent too: https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar...3-eceeaae29b92
