As has been stated above, we've all been through that struggle. It does get easier if you can put the time into continuous trying. Try not to get dis-heartened just yet. It really is early days for you at the moment.

i am not scandinavian but pretty close to that there so i also have the very thick blonde hair, you are saying lose the oil? i will try that. does anyone on here recomend me possibly going down to aos or someplace and getting a real sr shave to know how its really supposed to feel like?
Yessir, I would try without the oil, just to make sure that water really penetrates and wets the whiskers as much as possible.
A shave in a barbershop can be a wonderful experience.
Sadly, not all are as good as they can be.
I've had wonderful shaves with massage and all, completely BBS results.
But not on every occasion:)
I'm lucky to have an old Turkish barber in the neighborhood.
Man, can that guy shave!
When you are only three shaves in you still have a lot to learn. There is a learning curve for using the straight razor.
Just stick to it, and it will get better. Don’t think of the BBS or perfect shave yet. Take your time.
