Welcome!
A great place to get started is over in the honing section (
Honing). There are a bunch of getting started threads to read, and useful videos.
Regarding the Dovo, if it is truly shave ready, like what Straight Razor Designs and others vendors mentioned in this forum, you should be able to shave with it immediately (which is the true test of whether or not it is shave ready).
Some manufacturers say their razors are shave ready, but they are not. My first razor was a Dovo and it was made shave ready by SRD, and I used it right out of the box, as suggested. Worked great.
Who is honing the razor for you? Some sharpening companies may not really know how to sharpen a razor. There are places in the classifieds that you can use, to get honing done.
I'm sure others more experienced will chime in here.
