How to avoid cuts when shaving with a manual razor and shaving cream?

Let me preface by saying I don’t grow facial hair well and it’s just a patchy mess, so I shave every few days. I have used a phillips norelco one blade for 12 years straight and never had an issue. Never once cut myself or anything. I have had to use a normal razor and shaving cream a handful of times in this time period when I forgot the oneblade, a blade broke, etc. I have NEVER shaved with a manual razor without cutting myself. Every single time I get at least 2 or 3 cuts. I have watched dozens of videos trying to learn how, I have bought a more expensive razor, tried different shaving creams, and every single time I cut myself.

Can anyone give me life changing tips on how to shave properly, or point me to the best YT video to learn how to shave? I left my electric razor somewhere and will be without it for 2 weeks. I desperately wanna know how to shave without nicking and cutting my face everywhere. I cannot believe people prefer the manual razor over an electric one. I’m sure it has its benefits and would love to learn how to see those benefits.
