Yes, been there for quite some time. Maybe a couple of years of DE wet shaving helped. I already knew proper preparation and lathering. I had tried straights years ago and a barber taught me stretching techniques so that came back to me fairly quickly. Learning to hone and strop helped a lot. If the razor isn't sharp enough it won't do a good job even if you do everything else right. OTOH, if it is sharp enough blade angle, direction of attack, and understanding multiple pass shaving makes all the difference. Read my sig below to avoid nicks. Works for me.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
