Sounds like you need to read a post called "Stop" and another that says read this before shaving...........
Have fun,

+1 on all the info. Verify the razor is sharp and pay attention to your angles. Don't get too aggressive let the razor work. I say that from experience. Since this is just shave #3 you may want to slow down a bit and use your str8 in areas you're confortable with and work your way into the tougher ones. Take your time but I wouldn't put your str8 away you'll figure it out.

Don't let the razor pause on your face either.
I just finished my first shave and had amazing results till I was doing an XTG pass on my mustache and stopped to think "What the hell am I doing?" and BAM, a nick.
Also, get an alum bar. they're amazing. I had some serious irritation but no bumps and only 1 weeper by the edge of my lip. alum bar soothed it all and made the nick dissapear. Oh and always always watch your pressure. I did and kept thinking over and over, go lightly, go lightly, and I noticably had less irritation.
