Hello everybody, I have started getting into straight razors around a year ago.
While I have started with making some cuts on my face over time they have decreased to practically nothing.
However I am starting to feel that the blade is not as sharp as it used to be.
Using a disposable razor with 1 or 2 passes my face is perfectly clean. Even at its peak condition it was slightly worse than a disposable razor.
I own a NANIWA 3000/10000 waterstone and a strop with 4 sides.
I have failed so far to get me blade to be as sharp as a disposable razor.
I am seeing many people getting near-perfect shaves just with one passes all over youtube.
But I am struggling to emulate that experience.

I will really appreciate if someone gives me instructions as to how I can proceed with the resources I have (NANIWA 3000/10000 waterstone and a 4 sided strop)

Instructions like "Do this 10-15 times" have not really been useful to me since everyone's use is somehow different.
I need a step-by-step guide where I can confirm physically that my blade is ready to proceed to next step instead of counting travels on hones/strops

Here are my strop sides:

This is the picture of my nicked blade:

It is Stainless steel NOT Carbon Steel

And finally here is the link to the stone I have:

Thanks to all of you for your advice and instructions in advance
I really hope this frustration will be over eventually.
