If it's not shave ready then it needs to be. You may need to strop the razor adequately or that may not be good enough and it may need to be rehoned. You probably have no way to tell without a standard to compare it to

If you haven't already, you should contact the seller and find out what kind of shaves they were getting with the razor, and ask them for advice
