How do i get the razor shave ready? And will the walmart blades work as well as really old blades made by gillette for the razor?
I think most razor blades nowadays are double-edge ones. Feather makes single edge blades and they fit their razors, not sure if they work with anything else. Breaking a double edge blade in half may or may not work in a DE razor.

Which razor do you want to make shave-ready? The holder for blades that I think you got likely needs just to be cleaned up - boiling water, scrubbing bubbles, toothbrush that kind of thing. The actual blades that do the cutting dont' need anything except taking them out of the packaging and placing them in the holder(razor).

Buying one of the illinois models, or for a no-canvas version the $20 that ruprazor sells.
