You need to determine which way your beard grows and adjust your angle. I don't shave directly across the grain. I shave on a 45-70 degree angle: instead of the blade being on my cheek going towards my eye, it moves towards the space between the eye and ear. I do shave directly against the grain on my neck. But that is how my beard grows.
I also find that you need to really pull the skin tight when doing the ATG pass. Like everyone also mentioned, you need to get more experience with your face. Everyone is different so go slow and don't expect to get to the Holy Grail of shaves for several months.
You will know when you get to that BBS shave. When you do, you will find it was well worth the effort.
Enjoy the day.
