Great advice and it sounds like you're doing well. Remember that a razor does not pass a sharpness test, it reacts. Think carefully about the reaction, then improvement can be categorized through better reactions.

I don't remember who first posted, but this vid is where I first saw the pigtale stroke, and Glen has linked it several times.

The Mastro Livi honing/stropping vid gives similar reactions. I'll let someone else argue with what works.

Do not forget that a sharp razor is only a part of a good shave.
Preshave preparation is very important to.
If you have a stiff beard as me, then hot towel will do the magic.
