I echo what others have said. A Dovo razor from the factory (still sealed) will generally have an edge that is close to being ready to shave, but needs a bit more (hopefully final) honing by a seasoned hand. That said, I'm curious as to whether or not you bought the 8000x hone to maintain your razor. Stropping also needs a seasoned hand, as mentioned, and in starting out, you do not want a really nice strop as you risk to nick or cut it. What type of strop do you have?
One can also arrive at shaving with factory-edge Dovo by passing it on a pasted strop prior to plain leather. Again, this needs a seasoned hand, but it might be the best recourse if you insisted on doing it yourself in starting out. For example, Thiers-Issard alox/diamond paste on a flat suede paddle is pretty fool-proof if you were so inclined.
