First, forgive me if there is a similar thread but I searched and none seemed to pose my questions.

Today I attempted my third SR shave and I still can't get the razor to glide or cut smoothly. Let me first list the starting details.

EQUIPMENT
Wosty hollow ground Pipe that Lynn just honed for me.(pic below)
3" Latigo/canvas strop from The Heirloom Razor Strop Company.
Institute Karite shave soap.
Omega Silver tip brush.

BLADE PREP
25 rounds on canvas side followed by 25 rounds on Latigo side.
While I might not be doing it perfect, I feel comfortable saying I'm doing
a good job.

SHAVE PREP
I shave right after a hot shower.
Steaming hot towel on face for 30 seconds.
Rich but not foamy lather that covers skin color completely.

SHAVE EXPERIENCE
The blade drags and catches from the very first stroke.
Sounds/feels like I was dragging the blade across 40 grit sandpaper.
Pretty sure blade angle is correct and tried light to moderate pressure.
Not one pass left a clean cut in wake, always some visible stubble.
While no nicks, skin is left red with burning sensation.
HAD TO GO BACK OVER WITH MY MACH 3 TO FIX IT UP!

Would really appreciate some advice!
