5) Scything is where you slightly turn the toe of the blade, i.e. a little arc

Easiest to say similar to slicing tomatoes. toe could go forward or backward. In fact this is a little tricky. If someone else shaves you toe should go forward always but when you do shaving yourself things are changes. hope i am clear. very important making small strokes and stretching skin.

motion, right?

6) It's normal for each pass to take off a little more hair than the earlier one, rather than having all the hair taken off in one or two passes right?

i have a little different opinion on this. i think if you do have right sharpness blade and shave with right technique you should be fine with just 2 passes WTG AND XTG.

7) Should I expect to be further along since I've been SR shaving for 8 months now? Will I ever get there?

You should be in there already. In the other hand you have been in it for 8 months this means you have most important factor -patience on your side.

REMEMBER THIS your blade doesn't need any pressure to cut facial hair. if you do use pressure to shave then sharpness is issue.
