A few things not covered so far are lapping your hones and that a one pass shave is passable but generally not that great.

Lapping involves flattening the hones using a lapping plate, good quality wet and dry or sand paper on a perfectly flat surface or using loose abrasive media on a perfectly flat surface. The general recommendation for a heaving this is to draw a grid on the hone with pencil, figure eight it on your lapping surface and repeating until all the pencil disappears.

If i do a one pass shave it will get me out of the door without looking homeless but it isn't a great shave, most likely patchy and certainly not smooth from every angle.

Also whilst you have posted pictures of your strop what material and treatment thereof are on each side?
