Thanks for the warm welcome, all.
I just finished another shave and this was the best yet. I have been trying to heed the advice of "go slow, no more than two passes," so I have been content with quite a bit of stubble left over for the first couple weeks. Today, however, I did two passes wtg and decided to add one xtg. For the first time I had a DFS with absolutely no irritation or burning.
Here's my setup that I'm going to stick with for a month (hopefully):
Merkur HD w/ Dorco blade
Mama Bear's Unscented soap (lathered in bowl)
Porters PBB
Thayer's Unscented WH
Mama Bear's Unscented Summer AS
I am not sure if my more successful shaves are due to Mama Bear's or better technique, so I'm going to stick with the same variables for awhile.
