That isn't shave ready bubut obably half to 3 quarters there. Send it to a pro so that you have a benchmark for shave ready. You are unlikely to get it there yourself starting out. If you want to start honing buy a cheap decent quality razor and learn on that as your going to add a lot of wear before you have it down.
