You can also tape it to prevent wear.

Here's a good place to start (the Wiki):
Beginner's Guide to Honing - Straight Razor Place Wiki

...and the entire honing section in the wiki:

We all have to start somewhere so it is not a stupid question but it indicates that you need to do a bit of homework before you start actually honing. The SRP Wiki honing section noted by radaddict is the place to start and check out the videos of Lynn and heavydutystg137.
