1. When looking under 10x mag I can see a few scattered scratches ( from the cloth strop, stopped using until I treat it). They don't go out on leather or news paper but shave is ok. Re-polish?

2. Razor pops arm hair after stropping, however I need to do several wtg and atg passes to get a smooth shave. Been keeping the angle very shallow but six passes sounds wrong to me.

3. The day of the shave skin looks fine, but next day it's very red/bumpy, but not itchy or painful. What should I do. Just reduce the passes and go out half shaven?
