From the sound of it, you seem to have some idea what you are doing with both shaving and honing. Since you seemed to mostly enjoy your shave, it couldn't have been THAT bad, which indicates that your honing probably wasn't all THAT bad either. Perfect? Probably not, but seemingly not too bad. Also, you seem to have the basics of honing (setting the bevel, etc) so that's good.

I will agree with everyone else that you should definitely either get your razor honed by a honemeister, or, buy a shave ready razor from the classifieds. If I were you, I would opt for the shave ready from the classifieds. This way you still have your dovo for comparison, and you can practice honing with it, striving to sharpen it as sharp as your new "shave ready" razor. Also, it's a good idea to have 2 razors on hand in case one doesn't feel right on a particular day, or in case you slip up and drop a razor, or whack the edge on the faucet or something (doh!). In any event, the main point is that it's helpful to have some point of reference for sharpness, and the way a properly sharpened razor should feel on your face.

Either way, welcome, and good luck with your shaves!
