The Wostenholm pipes are nice shavers. It should be a good razor for you once it's honed and ready to go. It looks like a 4/8 in the picture, the narrower blades can be a little tricky for a beginner to strop, so be sure to watch the videos in the wiki and pay attention to your technique.
I don't know if you want to modify the blade or not, but as a beginner it might also be a good idea to ask whoever hones it to mute that square point just a little bit more.
