I received the Dovo and the TI blade today, they were honed but I didn't strip them yet. I'll try that for tomorrow and hope it helps. I am using an untreated Dovo Strop on the leather side.
Angle sounds good. Stropping can sometimes help greatly. If you are just beginning be careful, go slow, and don't put pressure on the blade when stropping. You wouldn't want to dull a freshly (and perfectly) honed razor by stropping incorrectly.
