Hi and welcome aboard. Depending on where the dovo was purchased it may well still need honing. Consensus is very few dovos leave the factory shave ready. The bst here is a good place for a second razor. Can be had cheap and will be shave ready. You haven't mentioned a strop yet so hopefully you have one as without you wont be doing much shaving. Good luck with your transition to the straight and know that any help you meed your sure to find it here.
