Stropping needs to happen every time before you shave except the first time – the people who did the pre-sharpening service will have done that for the first shave. Get yourself an inexpensive vintage blade on Ebay if you want to learn how to hone, work towards getting it to feel like the Dovo. You are in good shape all the way around. Enjoy!
