A couple things. First, yes get it honed. What one person on eBay claims as shave ready may not really be shave ready. In order to learn to use it you need to be guaranteed that the edge is good. Second, getting used to using a straight can take a while. There is a different, or lack of, leverage that the handled razors you’ve used in the past had. It takes some getting used to. A lot of us would suggest not trying to complete a full shave from the start. Try getting used to it by shaving one side of your face and leave off there until next time. Little by little you do more and more. There’s a learning curve.
