Welcome
Welcome!
My advice on avoiding skin irritation and weepers:
1) Mind how much pressure you apply on your skin with that mild razor. You want zero pressure, don't let the mildness trick you.
2) Don't buff over the same area more than 2-3 times. That's why you do 3 passes.
3) Make sure your lather is glistening and well hydrated. Moisture engorged whiskers cut easier. Unlike the creams, Proraso soap is on the thirsty side, don't be afraid to add water to your lather. That soap will last you a long time, so don't worry on wasting some to practice making lather. Enjoy the earthy sandalwood smell.

Well done. A nice normal shave is all you need until you develop a technique and muscle memory (3-6 months), and your skin will need some time to adjust. It only gets better and more enjoyable with time.
Cheers.
