I am in my fourth month of shaving with a straight razor. I only did my cheeks for the first couple of weeks. For the first month and a half, I did WTG with the straight and XTG and ATG with a DE. That gave me time to become comfortable with the new technique.
There is no one way to learn. Take it at your own speed. I still occasionally use a DE just because I enjoy it. You are free to use a straight or DE in combination if you wish. It did take me about 100 shaves to get where I felt I had control of the shave.
A wonderful video of "Lapp" taking his first shave with a straight razor is well worth watching. Although he is nervous, notice how deliberate and focused he is. I found it to be inspirational. He must be a natural because he shaved better in that first shave than I did for a month.

Ultimately, the decision to stop or continue is up to you. I do hope you will stay with it long enough to give yourself a good chance for success.
Best wishes and Happy Shaving!
