Just finished my first successful multi-pass straight shave! I had been struggling to get a blade properly prepped, but I think I finally got there. It isn't BBS, and it wasn't as silky smooth as my Fat Boy, but it's a passable weekend shave (my weekend is Friday-Saturday). I felt some pulling at a couple of points during the shave, but a quick restrop (20 or so passes) seemed to help. Would that suggest that the blade still isn't quite up to par? Or maybe that my stropping just needs work?
Success!

Congratulations! Was this with the Gold Dollar? If so, good job getting it shave ready.
Good job ! I'm at an early stage myself. I also got a couple of decent multi-pass shaves in during the week. I found the WTG passes to be perfectly smooth, but had some tugging ATG. I'm inclined to put this down to technique in the use of the razor & stretching as the razor is definitely cutting perfectly WTG and XTG. Like yourself, I can't replicate what I get with 3 passes with my Fatboy...but it's all going in the right direction.

No, it was with a Worcester Razor Co. I've been working on for weeks.
