I'm glad you're on the right path! Good lather and careful technique are your friends.

My suggestion:

. . . Don't shave "against the grain" until you can get a close, no-irritation shave
. ....

With a sharp blade, _very light pressure_ and the right angle, you should not get cut up. "Too much pressure" is the bane of beginners with DE razors. I speak from experience.
