Without a truely shave ready blade, it is simply not possible to get a good shave. With a sharp blade, but poor technique, you're still not going to get a good shave; even with a good blade, and good technique, it still will take your face a bit of time to adjust to shaving with a straight.

Moral, be patient, take it easy, don't expect BBS during the first couple of weeks, and make sure you're using a 'shave-ready' razor.

Congratulations Noam!
