Learn to stretch your skin correctly and control the angle better you nigger, Safety razors don't have guides to stretch your skin and place the blade on it at the ideal angle the way that cartridge razors do. You have to make weird faces at yourself, crane your neck at weird angles, and use your other hand to pull your skin taunt in order to get a proper shave. Also don't just run the razor over a spot to wipe the shave cream off and assume that part is done like you would with a cartridge.
Some people will actually do one pass where they are going strictly with the grain and then they relather and do a second where they're against the grain or from the side, or using other techniques to clean it up. There are also different techniques you can use on different parts of the face so that you're passing over the same area from different angles. For example: on the cheeks stretch the skin taunt and you do a kind of swooping motion, kind of like you're pivoting the razor like you're drawing a circld, but you actually move the pivot-point end because you'd cut yourself if it was stationary, you just don't move it as much as the swooping end. Another thing is you can quickly go up and down lightly shaving so you're moving over the same spot multiple times but aren't pushing hard or anything.
Find out what works for you, nobodies face is shaped the same way as yours so if you're fit with high cheekbones and a cleft chin you'll have to do things differently than a fat person with a mound of jiggly dough piled up on top of his shoulders
