I shave daily and do two passes. If I do three passes I get irritation. Shaving three times in a row would be painful for me.

I put minimal pressure on the blade and hold it loosely enough so that if I run into an area that would pull the blade moves rather then nicking me. I never force a blade if it pulls so I very seldom get a nick. If it pulls it goes back to the hone.

I strop about 10 round trips following the shave. I think it helps get any skin or whatever out of the striations in the edge and helps prevent corrosion.
