Whether Dovo blades are "shave ready" from the factory is a matter of debate. I read somewhere that Dovo will not honor the warranty on their razors if they have been honed after they leave the factory.
Jarod of TSS posted a video in which he removed several Dovo blades from their factory sealed cartons, stropped them and then performed an arm hair test. He concluded that they were "shave ready". However, others have stated that they are not truly shave ready. I purchased a Dovo Bismark and did not find it to be "shave ready" using my criteria. However, I did not have any difficulty honing it to a nice edge. I believe Dovo uses Coticules for honing. If you like Coticule edges, you may find the Dovo factory blades "shave ready". Personally, I do not find Coticule honed edges to be keen enough for my beard without further refinement on another hone or pasted strop.
As long as your honing technique is good, there is no reason to avoid stropping a blade. Sometimes absolute beginners are advised to shave with a newly honed razor without stropping. Improper stropping technique can damage a blade, but once you develop a decent stropping stroke, the chances of damage are pretty small.
