New to shaving, looking for advice. Can’t stop cutting myself

Hey all. New to shaving. Coming from growing a full beard to now clean shaven due to work requirements. Haven’t shaved in years and cannot stop cutting myself.

I had a full beard down to my chest and never had an issue growing it. Grows in a few days to give an idea of the thickness. I picked up the Gillette pro glide to start and continue to cut myself.

I typically shave after I shower. I get a nice and hot shower going and wash my face. I use shaving cream and have tried going at it with different pressure, different angles, different temps. Varying degrees of wetness with no improvement. I’ve thought about trying a slant razor as I see they are better for thicker hair but don’t want to risk the large investment if I’m going to run into the same issue. I’m typically shaving 2-3 days in between if that matters. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.
