I agree with Hirlau and RezDog. You are going to have to either hone the razor yourself or get a professional to do it. However, a cheaply made razor will never take as good and edge, hold the edge, or feel smooth to shave with. When you get a really sharp razor you use almost no pressure and your razor will not pull you face. I sent an 7/8" Otto Busch "Worldmaster" to Maggard Razors for a rescale, polish and hone. Now, it is cuts through stubble like a knife through hot butter. No pull at all, I would describe it like putting a drop or two of olive oil on your finger and running it on a wet granite counter top.
Even if you want to hone you own razors (as I do), send one to a reputable professional so you get a good baseline to go by. Even factory Dovo's, Boker's, etc. are not as sharp as a pro gets them. I can get a razor plenty good for shaving, but a true master honor takes it to a different level. Have a blessed day.
