Welcome to SRP!

I know that you are excited to take the plunge, but if the razor hasn't been professionally hand sharpened then you do not want to shave with it.
You probably also need a strop, and shave soap, and a brush. Canned shaving cream doesn't work to well with straights.

There is/was a pretty active shave group in the triangle area. Hopefully one of them can meet up with you and get you going.
