Well, you should try shaving with warm water if you don't already. Rub the cream in well. Also use hot water to basically heat the razor up somewhat, like run it under hot sink water for 10 seconds. Technique, I don't know, bunch of youtube videos about that, you'll learn a bit in time, I started shaving with one a year ago and the transition wasn't too crazy. Make sure you lather the neck well, and be careful, the neck is sorta hard to shave well with a DE. I personally think a lighter razor could be easier to transition with, I used a cheap Chinese razor to start, and then later a cheap plastic Dorco DE. You might like it heavier, though. Again, be careful on the neck, easy to irritate. Don't really have to worry about cuts much with a DE, not any worse cuts than you'll get with a cart razor. I think one thing too is, don't apply lots of pressure, try to let the razor do the work. Only apply just enough pressure, it's not a lawnmower like a cart razor.
For razors, it's mostly a matter of personal taste. You're probably gonna wanna try a few razor handles and blades combos to see what you like best. Like some people love Derby blades, I hate them. So try a few brands of blades and see what works best for you. Also, razors vary, too, by aggressiveness. Some people like aggressive, some like mild. For a milder razor, maybe try a Weishi or Feather Popular. The reason I say this is because a different razor and different blades will bring a vastly different shave, that's part of what makes DEs a bit complicated. So don't give up if this razor doesn't work out.
Lastly, if you totally utterly hate DE shaving for whatever reason, there's always Gillette TracII/Atra. For those, the patent ran out on the carts, so my local Family Dollar sells TracII compatible carts for $2/10, Walmart sells them for like $3/12. You won't usually be able to find a handle in stores, though. Ebay has Gillette GIIs, though, which are Trac IIs made for the Indian or Euro market. There's other TracIIs and TracII knockoff variants around, too.
Good luck and I hope you like it!
