Been there.... Done that!!! Yes I actually did that for a while with a blade honed by Hi_Bud_GL above. When I started getting better shaves with my honing job, I put his away until it got re-honed I like comparing blades and feeling the differences. I think you will learn a lot by doing that.
You are correct, I think the first pass for some reason seems to be the hardest on the blade. For a while, I tried taking the first pass with a DE and then finished with a straight. That worked well and I still use a DE under my jawline if I am in a hurry or if it just isn't working for me.
I also have found that some blades just fade quicker than others. I had a Sheffield steel actually feel different on the second side than it had on the first side. Guess I just got it too sharp and it couldn't handle it...... They tend to be more "comfortable" than "keen" anyways.
