It's going to take a while to finally get good results without pulling your face. It's a lot to do with technique and stropping. Once you get those two down everything else is pretty easy. Like I said, it took me a few months to hit the strides where my shaves improved dramatically.

Thanks for advice, I am trying to stick with this, but it is not getting any easier and to be honest, it hurts!!
